How AR Is Redefining Retail in the Pandemic
There are a lot of important factors involved in running a successful business. One of these factors is to adapt to changes in the industry and make the relevant transformations in your business to meet the needs and requirements of customers, and that's where technology comes into the picture. AR, AI, machine learning are some of the great tools that have become the most game-changing technologies for retail in 2022. One of these is in trend right now; yes, we are talking about augmented reality, AR. AR provides the customers the ability to have real-life visualization of products in 3D while shopping online, which can be even customized. Within no time, AR has become a "must-have" technology for e-commerce and omnichannel retailers to survive and outperform others.What Is Augmented Reality
The interactive experience where the real world is enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information achieved through digital elements, sound, or other sensory stimuli delivered via technology is known as Augmented reality or AR. In a layman's language, it is a combination of real and virtual worlds where the sensory information can be constructive or destructive. This technology is usually used in industries involved in mobile computing and business applications but things are changing gradually. Post pandemic, many businesses have opted for AR to provide immersive shopping experiences for the consumers while maintaining social distancing and Covid norms.

With augmented reality, retail businesses ( https://www.yourretailcoach.in/retail-business-plan/ ) have managed to set a new trend of providing an entirely new and amazing customer experience as well as higher sales. As of the current trend, many retailers and companies are taking advantage of AR in order to attract more customers using smartphones or tablets. The new "shop the look" offered in the market is being highly praised and chosen by the customers these days. Let us take a look at the trends and statistics related to the use of advanced AR/VR options in the retail market across the globe.
According to research by IDC, total spending around the world on AR/VR in 2020 was around $18.8 billion which is expected to increase exponentially with time.
