What are the market prospects of AR?Why AR will become more important 1. Smartphones and tablets are selling stronger than classic PCs and notebooks. Most of them are already combined with a flatrate internet access. Hence, the portability of locally relevant information will become much more important. 2. Enriched Marketing – With AR the virtual experience can be enriched by advertising, that is personalized and related to the realtime environment. Virtual Air Rights § 3.

What are the market prospects of AR?Business volume potential of AR 2010 2015 2016 21 Mio. 1,5 Mrd. „To imagine the use of 3 Mrd. Augmented Reality in the future, is like forecasting the the future of the internet in 1984.“ The Economist, 2009 In 2010 the AR-business generated 21 million $. In 2015 it will be 1,5 billion $, in 2016 even 3 billion $. The prospects may vary from source to source, but the overall expectation is tending to billions rather than millions. The figures derive from reputable analysts like ABI, Juniper or Gartner, not out of the AR- business itself. So they can be counted as realistic.

What are the market prospects of AR?Imaginable implementation of AR  Extention of computer operating system interfaces to the real environment. Application windows and buttons will be displayed in the factual space as virtual devices and will be controled by gestures, glances or thoughts.  Virtualisation of various devices – displays, input devices, controls or even completely new devices  Media applications, like pseudo-holographic displays or virtual „holodecks“, virtual surround cinemas Movie: „Minority Report“  Substitution of smartphone or navigation displays, direct overlay of Twentieth Century Fox information in the environment, e. g. guidelines on the street surface, x-ray view to hidden/blocked objects „Transparent humans  Room beautification by displaying virtual plants, tapestry, window views, art, for everybody“ Interview with „futrist“ and decoration, illumination scientist Max Celko on the merging of online and offline  Advertising via virtual shop windows, virtual traffic signs, billboards et. al. world in augmented reality and how this will affect our communication.
