Interactive technology fosters immersive engagement
The report, titled “Augmented Reality in Gaming and Entertainment,” sheds some light on how interactive technology is beginning to play a more important role in the engagement of consumers. The report suggests that this technology represents a live, direct or indirect view of the world enhanced by digital displays and other computer-generated stimuli. In terms of entertainment, the capabilities of augmented reality are prized as it allows consumers to, quite literally, experience the world around them in a new way.
Game industry and filmmakers showing more attention to interactive technology
According to the report, augmented reality is becoming more prominent in the mobile space than any other. Mobile applications that make use of the technology are becoming increasingly common, especially as mobile devices themselves become more advanced. The advent of mobile games has opened up new engagement opportunities for consumers, and the game industry is beginning to show stronger interest in using augmented reality to revolutionize the gaming experience. Filmmakers are also beginning to look for ways to make use of the technology to attract the attention of consumers as well, using the technology to provide more immersive experiences or access to exclusive digital content.
Augmented reality continues to expand its boundaries
Augmented reality is gaining more attention as it sees more use. The technology has shown that it can be a powerful marketing tool, but it is also beginning to show that it has uses in education, construction, and health care.
