Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.[1][2] AR can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects.[3]
Virtual Reality: Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (e.g. video games), education (e.g. medical or military training), and business (e.g. virtual meetings). Other distinct types of VR-style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality sometimes referred to as extended reality or XR.[1]
E-Commerce: The retail & E-commerce software industry will stay ahead in the race when it comes to harnessing AI in the future. We’ll see its penetration in both --web and mobile apps.

Marketing AR will likely be seen in packaging, on street signs, through gaming apps, and in interactions with other products.
Geolocation: Finding a nearby restaurant on your smartphone isn’t a new thing. But yes, AR will significantly deliver top-notch service. On a real-time basis, the advisories will surely come to the suggestions.
