Overview:

Augmented Reality (AR) represents a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input, that enrich the user's perception of the real world

This research evaluates the potential for AR applications with a high benefit to society and those that go beyond the current commercial implementations. These so called next generation AR applications, now almost unimaginable, will be commonplace within the next decade and will profoundly impact ICT as well as almost every industry vertical.



Target Audience:

- Wireless carriers and other service providers
- Augmented Reality (AR) application developers
- Telemetry, Telematics, and vehicle monitoring companies
- Telecom (fixed and wireless) and ICT infrastructure providers
- Government agencies, regulatory authorities, and commissions
