Apple may be in with a chance at taking the AR market by storm though as an Android user, and seeing how AR can go for Android with ARCore, I am not convinced Apple will take the market. Not with the explosion of AR apps on Android already, and free.
Question to the OP on AR, what is your opinion on this statistic from a
virtual reality service blog:
AR could become the primary driver of a $108 billion VR [virtual reality]/AR market by 2021, with AR taking the lion’s share of $83 billion and VR $25 billion.”
I can believe that as the AR developers can add billions to the games market alone. I could mention other major uses as we go on like home design, event planning (latter can be very useful at event promos). I think filmmakers can dress a scene in reality with augmented objects and gain a clear view of a scene before props enter or how CGI elements will blend.
I think the stats are right considering the uses of AR and I have barely covered it.
