Advancements in augmented reality (AR) applications include improved hardware, like lighter and more powerful AR glasses, enhanced computer vision, and more realistic virtual overlays. Companies are focusing on user experience, integrating AR with artificial intelligence to better recognize environments and objects. Increased accessibility through smartphones and web-based platforms has also enabled broader use cases in education, training, and retail. Furthermore, collaborative AR experiences are emerging, allowing multiple users to interact within a shared augmented environment, enhancing engagement and learning opportunities.
