These wild augmented reality innovations show how quickly this technology has progressed in the past year alone. 3D fashion, holographic business cards and QR code-embedded shirts add a human element to the concept of virtual reality. Similarly, interactive historical maps for tourists and fitting room visualizers for shoppers show the practical applications of augmented reality from a capitalist point of view.
See these and more augmented reality innovations above.
Implications - Augmented reality has proven to act as an intriguing avenue of exploration for many businesses. As a direct backlash toward the abundance of reality television programming, augmented reality innovations are a refreshing change. Businesses that create products that deviate away from reality are considered interesting and inventive.
