Augmented Reality Technology: Current Applications, Challenges and its Future

Abstract

The term augmented reality (AR) refers to a technology that unites virtual things with the actual environment and communicate directly with one another. Nowadays, augmented reality is receiving a lot of study attention. It is one of the few ideas that, though formerly deemed impractical and unattainable and can today be used quite successfully. Research and development on the AR are still in their early stages at many colleges and high-tech enterprises. Like our smart phones and laptops, many researchers predict that it will be one of the most popular technologies in the future. This paper provides a comprehensive study of AR including its working, applications, current challenges and future trends.Although augmented reality applications are used in many areas, the most important areas are focused in this paper. In the light of all these, this study is a compilation study and in the context attention is drawn to usage of augmented reality in current life scenario.
