Augmented Reality Trends 2020 Edition


We’ve seen immense growth of the augmented reality market across various industry sectors in 2020, and several attempts by industry leaders to overcome the challenges that we face with the market currently.
Augmented reality is seeping its way into healthcare, education and even the automotive industry as businesses try to incorporate this technology in finding more innovative solutions. Retail brands are also upgrading their e-commerce platforms to keep up with consumer demands and needs.
Here are some of the trends you need to keep an eye out for in 2020!

Making AR more wearable

AR based applications and features are already accessible to a large number of smartphone users because of the marker-less technology they use but in 2020, the industry wants to explore the possibility of AR based glasses.
However, these are expected to make an appearance sometime around 2023 but will revolutionize the ability for consumers to be able to experience alternate reality in real time. The optics industry is also working on making AR glasses easily assimilated into everyday fashion with advanced technology like quantum dots and microLEDs. These help to make displays brighter but also energy- efficient at the same time.

Enhancing the smart phone to be AR compatible

We’ve been using smartphones for years now but we’re expecting better upgrades such as chips and sensors that make it easier to configure with AR. These include spatial sensors like Time of Flight (ToF), and radar and ultra wideband.
The benefits of adding these advanced sensors is elevating the entire AR experience for the user by introducing more novel ways of creating content with the help of 3D scanning. One of the things that stands out with an AR experience is how immersive it is and with smartphones that sport stronger chips and processors, we can now see that happening.

AR face filters

We’ve seen and used face filters profusely on social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, but industry leaders are working on creating filters that can project an alternate reality on your body and also the real world. Apps like TikTok are expected to jump on board to include more filter creators to make video content more engaging and fresh with special effects.
