In the year 2020, the people were locked in their homes and found innovative ways to connect with the outside world. Some of the industries struggled to find the alternatives for the physical resources to make sure that the day-to-day processes are run as effectively as in the times before the pandemic. It emerged that the Augmented Reality possesses the capability to bring out the added value in the verticals. As per the latest report, the market size of Augmented Reality is approximated to increase from $3.5 billion in 2017 to $198 billion-plus by 2025.

Following industries are ready for complete transformation via Augmented Reality and accelerate its use:

1. Education and Training: This year is going to be a quantum leap for Augmented Reality in the education and training sector. It has already sped up the movement towards itself which the people can’t get enough of. The students of all the age groups across the world have made a shift to distance learning and in this AR became their reliable partner. The digital tools to be added in their curriculum will keep the students interested and engaged. The coming decade will have a much wider adoption of AR from higher education to the formation of a corporate. It provides 3D visualizations in place of books for instance a digital twin of human organs for an immersive experience.

2. Logistics and Warehousing: The Augmented Reality is going to be omnipresent and help logistic and transport companies to operate efficiently. This is despite the restrictions of any external factors or the pandemic imposes on the company. The employees of the warehouse can scan the orders and figure out the best route for the exact location of storage with the AR functionality. The super impose of digital instructions acts as an aid to the navigation feature which results in enhanced productivity and quality control. The solutions with integrated AR will enable to combine the value of barcode reading, QR scanners, handheld devices and more.

3. Construction and Architecture: The immersive technology of Augmented Reality has opened the doors for organizations to connect the field workers and teams remotely and promote collaboration. Remote collaboration is enabled with systematic two-way audio and video illustrations so that any employee or team member can access it in the office or on the site. There are applications used by construction companies to give a detailed view of the future building for the open public and provide a feedback and communication channel. The same can be used in-house audio and video illustrations for collaboration of teams in real-time.

4. Games and Toys: The toy manufacturers tapped into the potential of Augmented Reality to bridge the gap between physical and digital play. With AR, many established brands and start-ups are enhancing the engagement and dwell time of the children of various age categories. In the following years, the demand for tech toys will increase with the launch of Gen-Zs, millennials and digital natives. The formats of classic games can be revamped with advanced features like image and object tracking. By investing in the augmented features, the toy manufacturers are enabled to achieve the double of their retention for the same price.

5. Retail and E-commerce: The retailers are now considering the benefits of Augmented Reality for a while after the pandemic struck the world. The demand for cutting-edge solutions grew at a higher level in 2020 when the stores were unable to open. Innovative ways had to be found for exceptional customer experiences. With AR, the customers are enabled to shop virtually along with the fitting rooms to try the clothes from home. AR can also help the customers to help in imagining the items as how they look in their living space before buying it. The consumer will feel more confident by being able to see the product live.

6. Food Service: In the foodservice industry, the Augmented Reality empowers the users to bring a virtual chef right into their kitchen. In the coming years, AR will give the chance to connect virtually to display the products and skills using AR demonstrations and 3D objects. As per a survey, 65% of the people want to know about the origin of their food which is possible with AR, for example, if someone is looking for fresh lobsters, they can take AR tour of the boat and guide the fisherman to catch the lobster. This will give the consumers a better understanding of their food and the people associated with it.

7. Healthcare: With the help of Augmented Reality, the environment of healthcare can transform drastically with accurate applications. The skilled doctors and surgeons will be able to practice complicated procedures without the use of expensive resources or compromising the comfort of the patient. The students can also learn about the procedures by any surgeon performing it via a headset which can give a more detailed explanation rather than attending a live surgery. The patients also need to interact with the doctors from a distance and so the technology had to go beyond the video conferencing. The doctors can now see the wounds and other problems from a distance and diagnose the patient.
