Augmented Reality
The term AR stands for Augmented Reality which is a technology that is comparatively new in the market but it is expected to play a crucial role in shaping our future technology. The AR technology can be used for improving our present-day services as well as products by implementing principles of augmented reality.
Augmented Reality can be simply described as the process of introducing virtual elements into the real world by using a digital medium as a mobile application.
Although the AR technology is still in its early stages but the services that it is offering is impactful. Right now, a smartphone’s camera is one of the most used medium to portray augmented reality by adding virtual elements to the camera images or videos.
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is also known as VR and is one of the trends that can be seen all over the different social media platforms. That’s the reason why mobile app developers should keep up with the virtual reality technology.
According to many technology experts and researchers, Virtual Reality is actually on the verge of exploding that means there would be soon a high rise in the market for the VR apps and services. At present, the mobile app development companies that offer VR services have already begun to gear themselves from the highly estimated virtual reality demand.
Now companies are building VR headsets and various other gadgets to keep themselves ahead in this race of technology. So, as a mobile app development company that wants to grow immensely in the upcoming years need to first adopt the AR and VR technologies.

In the year 2018, we can now see how virtual reality and augmented reality mobile apps are delivering its users an enhanced learning experience. As now colleges and other learning institutions have started to use these applications to teach their students in a well-curated environment.
Virtual Reality is also a great way to make your business meetings as well as more productive by eliminating the use of teleconferences and using VR technology to interact with people from all over the world.
This is just a beginning of a huge technology revolution with AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality). Because in the next 3 to 5 years, the VR headsets and AR glasses will be more advanced to give the end-user a more surreal experience.
Currently, in the app development industry, there are very few mobile applications that are based on the concept of Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality. And that makes it the best time for other mobile app development companies to enter the market of AR and VR.
