Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality has been the buzz words around, lets have quick look at how it can completely change the way of living?

E-commerce

If you work in the Retail market, you’ll be competing on giving your customers the best buying and digital experience. With the existing blurring lines between physical and virtual shopping, augmented and virtual reality will enable your business to bridge the existing gap. You’ll also need to replace your traditional retail shop with virtual showrooms.

For instance, introducing AR and VR in clothing stores will enable your customers to view clothing items in 3D format and virtually try them online. You’ll also need to provide your customers with the chance to try out new haircuts or tattoos without permanent commitments virtually.

Medical

It’s better and safer for surgeons in training to perfect their techniques on things other than real humans, but it would also be better for trainee surgeons to practise on things that aren’t just plastic models or people who have left their bodies to medical science.

As such, a fully-interactive, accurately modelled specimens, suffering from a selection of ailments which need surgery to be carried out through a VR interface, would make for better-trained, better-performing surgeons — something that’s better for all of us.

Space exploration

The potential to fly round in space using a Google Maps-style interface would be fun and interesting.

But a space agency putting cameras all over their equipment and sending them out to the great black unknown, with scientists on Earth viewing and navigating through a VR headset, would allow for space exploration in a way we’ve never seen before.

Real Estate and Construction

The construction and real estate sector will be one of the major beneficiaries of the AR and VR impact. If you work as a construction professional, electrician, or plumber, you’ll be able to walk through a VR building and identify problems in design or drainage. This will positively impact project management, reduce construction costs, and save time.

If you have a real estate business, you’ll be able to offer potential buyers a VR tour of the building you are selling or leasing, without them being present.

Manufacturing

Incorporating AR and VR in the manufacturing sector will change the number of jobs that will be performed. As a technician in the manufacturing sector, you’ll receive virtual support from remote staff or gadgets. This will help you point out errors and indicate markings, thus reducing guesswork witnessed in manual work.

You’ll also be able to streamline the manufacturing processes to produce quality products at a cheaper cost. This will reduce human error, increase training efficiency, and save manufacturing time.

Cinema and entertainment

Virtual reality is changing the entertainment landscape as we know it and producers, engineers, and film studios are noticing. 66% of consumers are interested in VR for TV, movies, and video which shows the potential for commercial VR growth as the technology grows less expensive over time.

And it makes sense why movie-goers and other entertainment-seekers are excited about the future of this technology, VR movies provide an expansive, sensory-filled experience that creates an immersive, more intense event.

Gaming is another area where VR is defying expectations. Virtual reality technology allows gamers to become the avatar instead of just controlling it and pushes the boundaries of the gaming medium itself. VR gaming revenue is expected to reach $19.5 billion by 2025 so gamers will continue to see advances and new VR-enabled gaming experiences.

Tourism

VR software enables users to visit museums and historical sites virtually so, instead of saving up thousands to visit Greece or Morocco, you can do the next best thing: take a virtual tour. It also provides educators with a unique way to explore the world with their students.

If you are actually traveling, virtual reality also offers the opportunity for users to tour hotels during the booking process.

Educational Training

If your work involves hands-on skills, AR and VR will help you do a better job with excellent safety and fewer errors. If you own a company, both technologies will allow you to create training programs that are consistent with each employee. This enables them to develop confidence and competence in their work.

Will this technology help us to give quality life? Will it take jobs from humans? There are many questions still prevailing though advancement of it will curate miracles with Big companies like Google and Facebook investing in it.
