Consumer application to lead the augmented reality market
The augmented reality technology offers remarkable results in terms of visual effects when used in gaming and sports broadcasts. There are some AR gaming applications in which players can create virtual objects and characters and then link those digital creatures to defined locations in the real world. Players can then easily interact with those digital objects in the real world. The demand for software apps is high in the consumer sector because all gaming applications are used in devices such as smartphones and tablets to play the games. Even in the entertainment application, the demand for the development of AR apps is high to enhance the user experience in different areas such as sports broadcasting, gathering information through social networking sites, and so on. The use of head-mounted displays for gaming and entertainment will also be a major boost to the augmented reality market.
