Augmented reality (AR) in the past few years has taken the spotlight for being ‘the tool’ that equips people in acquiring the knowledge of operating complex machinery and working with advanced technology. It has transitioned from being a recreational media as in the earlier iterations to a full-fledged educational tool that enhances the learning experience, whether made available to a classroom full of students or deployed as interactive interface for medical professionals. The technology is estimated to skyrocket considering the open source nature of the platform for solution providers and content developers alike to cash in and customize the experience to their needs.
