At the moment, there is no news of commercial applications, as Google seems focused on enterprise solutions.Īt the same time, the niche of AR glasses is not empty by far. So far, the redesigned augmented reality device is already being used in an autism treatment program with certain success. However, in 2017, Google announced a new line of Google Glass – the Enterprise Edition. Google Glass turned out too unsafe, insecure and was vastly criticized. It appeared in 2013 and already in 2015, Google suspended the project. The first significant shot at producing commercial AR glasses was the famous Google Glass. The development of AR glasses is going at full throttle, and it may happen that soon augmented reality devices will become an everyday matter rather than a Tony Stark gadget. While this sounds a bit futuristic, the future is closer than you may think. Traffic navigation that you can see without taking your eyes off the road, user manuals that you can consult without letting go of the tool and opening a book or a website, X-rays that the surgeon can check without leaving the operating table and interrupting the surgery – this is the true value of augmented reality. Still, if we strip away the “wow effect” that AR creates, we will see its core feature that opens enormous practical opportunities – display of information right in front of our eyes without blocking the real world.įorget the Pokémon and Snapchat filters – the uses of AR are much wider than that. With AR we can take funny selfies, try on makeup and clothes, catch virtual creatures in the real world, or place furniture in our homes before we even purchase it. We have seen quite a lot of different AR apps and admired their engaging and entertaining capabilities. It is very likely that we are going to see some truly revolutionary applications soon. Wearable devices, such as AR glasses, are now the object of research and development by many companies in the AR sector. However, the technology seems to be bursting from these restraints and gradually finding uses more comfortable than holding a smartphone in front of your eyes all the time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Today, augmented reality (AR) is most often seen through a smartphone camera.
