People are only beginning to explore how practical applications of augmented reality in science, medicine, engineering, commerce and education can improve people’s lives in far reaching ways. Due to the broad impact of applications, augmented reality is projected to eclipse virtual reality and become a $120 billion industry over the next five years. This talk touches on the types of applications that will drive the proliferation of AR.
