How industries will be changed by AR
Ori from Games Alfresco (my main source of AR news) posted a great insight on how industries will be changed by AR.
All credits go to him!
We have been raving about how Augmented Reality will reinvent reality. Which slices of “reality” will be affected by AR first? Researchers and entrepreneurs worldwide are already plotting its impact on specific industries.
Investors – here’s a chance to educate yourselves.
Here are 11 of my favorite clips depicting industries reinvented with augmented reality:
(Credits inside the videos)
1. Advertising
Despite being the first on the ar band wagon, the $600 Trillion ad industry has used AR as a gimmick. It has the potential to literally bring consumers to products and totally reinvent itself.
2. Art
Street art democratized minus the vandalism.
3. Design
Real-collaboration, real-time, real-life design
4. Entertainment
Entertainment content could reach you in every part of your day AND be relevant to your surroundings.
5. Health care
Doctors: you have the information – now use it in context of your patient.
6. Learning
Books reinvented. Gutenberg must be turning in his grave.
7. Maintenance
See through walls, floors and roofs? awesome dude – I wanna be in maintenance!
8. Personal Productivity
No more being glued to a screen. No more screens. No more (visible) hardware.
9. Retail
Stores and products talk to you about themselves (but only when you want…)
10. Tourism
Your personal tourist guide, anywhere you go.
11. Training
User manuals are dead. Watch the instructions live in your field of view.
