Augmented Reality Education & Training Applications: Challenges & Opportunities

Abstract

This presentation will discuss the challenges and considerations that need to be resolved for the future delivery of industrial and consumer applications of Augmented Reality. AR is increasingly being viewed as a technology that will become ubiquitous, though additional development is needed-- and underway-- to fulfill AR's full potential. On the near term horizon, emerging applications increasingly include education and entertainment, medicine and science, military training, public safety, and transportation. Additionally, AR's applicability to e-commerce through pairing with mobile smartphones is showing early promise but has yet to be fully exploited.
