• 5 Practical Ways Businesses Can Leverage
  Augmented Reality
• Augmented Reality is a progressive technology
  that enhances a users experience by integrating
  virtual elements into their vision without
  completely isolating them from their actual
  surroundings. With an AR-enabled
  smartphone/headset, you can transform the world
  around you into something more, albeit on a
  screen.
• The AR market is estimated to rise to 215 billion
  USD by 2021. This would mean further
  participation of Augmented Reality in businesses
  across industries in the coming years.
• Here we have listed down top five practical ways
  businesses are leveraging Augmented Reality
• Immersive Customer Experiences
• One of the most difficult things to do for a
  brand is to keep the customers engaged yet its
  crucial for business. Increased engagement to
  more sales and a greater chance of being
  promoted by word-of-mouth.
• Augmented Reality helps you increase customer
  engagement, especially if you have a
  mobile-based product or application.
• Social media giant Facebook has been creating
  AR-based games for its messenger app.

• Educating Customers and Employees
• When it comes to explaining a products usage or
  instructions, a user manual has always been
  standard. However, people hardly read these
  manuals.
• Thats why brands came up with product tutorial
  videos, highly visual images, and infographics.
  However, these dont work out in real-time.
• With Augmented Reality, guided instructions can
  be introduced and they will be able to watch
  animations of the instructions and follow them
  simultaneously. In the below video, look at how
  AR helps these people operate the machine.
