On 2020 augmented reality will be a global business of almost 120, 000 million dollars!
Why is this? Discover how augmented reality is distinguished from virtual reality and its applications, as well as the reason why it will become an affordable and desired business on all markets, especially in manufacturing industry.
Augmented reality is used to have interactive experiences with users, combining virtual and physical dimensions through digital devices. This is a versatile resource that can be implemented to reach any objective.
Moreover, augmented reality can adapt to any environment in which is placed, and it’s capable of interacting with all the physical objects around. Before learning about their applications in the industry, it’s necessary to make the distinction between virtual reality and augmented reality.
Virtual or Augmented Reality?

It is common to confuse these two terms because of their similitude, not just in the name, but also because both need a technological intermediary to access them. Nonetheless, there’s an element that makes them different and will allow you to distinguish them without a problem.
In short, virtual reality is a digital world created and detached from the real world. For instance, you put a helmet on and now you’re planting trees in Mars in a video game or boxing with chickens in some barn.
On the other hand, augmented reality allows the projection of digital elements into our real physical world. With more discreet glasses, you can go out into your garden and digital trees start popping up, so you can know how they’d look and how many could you put in your garden. You can even change their size, type or even put brushes; all with a running app in some technological device, like a tablet or smartphone.
Know you understand the infinite uses you can give to this technology?
People like us can enjoy planning our new garden with this technology and big economies, like the manufacturing industry, are starting to recognize the benefits of their uses and applications.
Industrial Applications of Augmented Reality

The implementation of augmented reality increased during the pandemic we’re going through, because companies couldn’t receive external people or the process to enter was so long and tedious that it delayed the production.
Some companies have been using augmented reality to connect efficiently and faster with the technicians, who can resolve the issues in the automated equipment before they translate into huge losses, and without even having to be there physically. Read more about it here!
If you have a problem in your manufacturing plant that you think can be solve with augmented reality, you can talk with experts on the topic and implement this technology easily.
Technology HUB has successfully implemented some augmented reality applications in manufacturing plants.
