Introduction<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Mobikul Mobile App Builder for Magento 2<\/a> will convert the Magento 2 based website to a mobile app. The app is combined with the Augmented Reality feature to increase functionality and make it more user-friendly.<\/p>\n

What is Augmented Reality?<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Augmented Reality (AR) is a part of artificial intelligence (AI). Where the objects present in the real-world environment are augmented into computer-based information.<\/p>\n

It is different from virtual reality (VR), which refers to the adaptation of the real world into a virtual one. However, augmented reality is about the harmonious co-existence of the real and virtual worlds.<\/p>\n

So, the functionality is usable in various places like- gaming, surgical procedures, virtual tour, 3D product demo, simulations, home interior decor, and other places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Types of Augmented Reality<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Augmented reality is a diverse field that can be divided into several categories –<\/p>\n

Marker-Based Augmented Reality <\/strong>–<\/strong><\/p>\n

This type of Augmented Reality uses a camera and a visual marker (usually a QR\/2D code). That gives a set of outputs when sensed by a reader. The camera of a device can distinguish between real-world objects and markers.<\/p>\n

The best example of the technology is car interior design selection. Where the customer can view multiple designs for car interiors (like seat colour, steering type, dashboard and many other details).<\/p>\n

Markerless Augmented Reality<\/strong><\/p>\n

This type of Augmented Reality uses a GPS, digital compass, velocity meter, or accelerometer which is embedded in the device to provide data based on your location.<\/p>\n

Thus, this feature is useful for mapping directions, finding nearby businesses, and other location-centric mobile applications.<\/p>\n

Projection-Based Augmented Reality<\/strong><\/p>\n

This works by projecting artificial light on a real-world object surface and then sensing the human interaction of that projected light.<\/p>\n

Superimposition-Based Augmented Reality<\/strong><\/p>\n

This type of augmented reality either partially or completely replaces the original view with the new one. This type of feature can be highly useful in furniture shops or in determining the design of a building.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Advantages Of Augmented Reality in Mobile Apps<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This technology is helpful when we talk about the e-commerce industry due to multiple reasons. After creating a revolution in the gaming industry with games like Pokemon Go.<\/p>\n

It is also serving other industries like healthcare (majorly remote surgeries), books and extensively the e-commerce industry.<\/p>\n

Hence, the major reasons behind the usage of Augmented Reality in the e-commerce industry are –<\/p>\n
