I understand that AR has been advocated for by major companies and tech enthusiasts, but I find it challenging to identify a “killer app” that consistently delivers value to users through AR technology. Can anyone provide insight or examples of such applications?

While there are many potential uses for augmented reality (AR), it might be difficult to identify a “killer app” that continually provides meaningful value.
Here are some instances of augmented reality applications that have had a significant impact in several fields:
- Entertainment and Gaming
Pokémon GO: This well-known smartphone game uses its GPS and camera to superimpose virtual Pokémon on the actual environment, demonstrating AR’s ability to produce interesting and dynamic experiences.
- E-commerce and retail
IKEA Place: This tool helps customers make decisions by letting them see furniture in their homes using accurate 3D representations.
Using the camera on a smartphone, Sephora Virtual Artist allows customers to virtually try on cosmetics, improving the buying experience without the need for a real application.
These applications illustrate AR’s ability to solve specific problems and enhance user experiences across various industries.
