The most common use in mobiles is the information that can pop up on your screen in relation to your location. Apps exist that can display things like buildings, streets, shops, ATMs nearby. Looking around through your mobile screen can give you instant briefs about different objects around you, displayed right next to the object as seen on your mobile camera. 

Capture the reality around you on your mobile and then see what the business can add to it. 

Suppose you are exploring a furniture app. In order to help you imagine what the piece of furniture will look like in your home, you can move around your mobile in your house. The app will overlay a picture of the piece you’re interested in, right where you aim the camera. You can move around and experiment with angles. 

Decision-making can be made much easier because you are no longer trying to visualize something; you are actually looking at it. 

Check out clothes, accessories, shoes on yourself without leaving your home once. 

Perhaps one of the most beneficial aspects of AR is in training and educating. From school, high school, and college to technical training institutes, AR can smooth the learning process by facilitating the visualization process.

Medical students, especially, can use 3D interactive models of the human body to learn more about it. Medical professionals and trainees can boost their performance by learning through AR. 

Anything and everything can be taught.

1. How to use equipment
2. How to perform surgeries
3. How to fix a machine

Trainings are not just limited to education. You can use Augmented reality for martial arts or military training, and it will give you the same benefits. Flight trainings are another useful application.

Adding codes in books and scanning them through mobiles can display further details about what is written. These additions could be short clips, pictures, interactive models, or anything the reader may find applicable. 

Again, this can make reading far more interesting, whether it is entertainment, literature, or educational text.

What if your computer breaks down and the nearest support center is two hours away? Augmented reality can solve your issues. Support people can guide you step by step through the fix. All you have to do is point your camera at your screen and follow instructions that pop up.

Gaming is one of the most exciting areas where AR is applied. AR lets you experience your game right from your seat. It can certainly add a higher level of interest to the game when you are playing in the real world.

Another obvious application that is being thoroughly explored nowadays is Augmented reality in the movie industry. In the future, at least, we may be able to actually experience being a part of the world inside the movie. Seeing how quickly people took to VR, this is something that will be well received by movie junkies and non-junkies alike.

The key advantage of AR is that you can see everything in real-time. Seeing how your design will look on a shirt, bag, or building can help you decide on what needs to be improved, removed, or added. 

Combining AR to 3D projection can produce a stunning effect of seeing rain or snowfall or thunderstorms in any geographical region. 

AR is also very useful for travelers visiting a place where they might have a language barrier. Using object recognition software, they can point to objects and find out all about them.

Or by using apps similar to navigation apps, they can find useful places nearby like restaurants, hotels, or hospitals. 

Some AR apps also allow users to translate their speech into the local language and vice versa.

There is no end to the uses of AR, so let’s end the list here before it spins out of control. It is enough to say that AR is a certain part of our futures, in various, and perhaps all, aspects.
