The Augmented Reality (AR) market, although in its early stages, has been growing rapidly since the last two years. The next 5 years will produce diverse AR content from varied fields and industries and affordable solutions for consumers. AR enterprise applications and subsequent subscription models will boost revenue for start-up companies in this market. The prominent barrier to widespread adoption of AR technology within the healthcare sector is a concern for privacy. Medical education and staff training will remain the principal AR application in healthcare. As multi-sensory learning has always been beneficial in transmitting information, many industries are expected to turn to AR as the prominent source of instructional learning.
