Augmented Reality (AR) is a real-time technology, which works by overlaying detailed information on user surroundings, including graphics, audio, video, and more, as captured through smartphone cameras and other devices.

The global augmented reality market is set to reach a CAGR of over 65% between 2017 and 2021. That’s according to a new report from Technavio.

The research highlights three key areas of interest in AR. These are mobile devices, smart glasses and head-mounted displays. This year, companies such as Facebook, Apple and Google are all expected to launch augmented reality apps. This is likely to drive the AR market for mobile devices to reach 78% by 2021.

In addition, Technavio highlights the increase of AR tech within healthcare, retail, travel and other sectors. In line with the developments within AR, smart glasses are also expected to increase at a CAGR of over 69% by 2021. The AR market by HMDs is predicted to reach 35% by 2021 through wider usage in healthcare and engineering sectors.

Indeed, awareness and user interest in AR has been steadily increasing. As a result, consumer-specific AR apps are likely to booster the market even further.

AR technology has been praised for its potential to replace the ‘abstract’ realities of standard mobile browsers with ‘actual’ reality streamed through the camera of the smartphone.

Augmented reality (AR) is one of the most successful ambassadors for ubiquitous computing to date and is based on the idea that location-based data can be overlaid on your view of the real life. In the context of ServAdvisor App, the goal of mobile AR is to help potential service consumers get informed about live and up-to-date service offering in the local surrounding.

The ServAdvisor app gathers information on over 100 million retailers\ service providers around the world, with contributions and ratings from existing review providers adding the element in augmented reality for better interaction and engagement with real-time user environments.

The ServAdvisor app shows retailers\ service providers via AR in smartphone camera making them easier to distinguish. It will allow potential service consumers to discover details about their surroundings and access related ratings and reviews information already optimized by AI based on their preferences.

The AR and AI synergy here is simply perfect and the resulting recommendations has the potential to take service consumers experience to completely new level.
