Technology like AR has the potential to create low touch / contactless product experiences.Specifically as we recover in Covid times, these  suite of technologies can enable these experiences.

Taking a practical use case like going to mall and shopping for food products kept on the aisle .  Using the power of mobile + AR , user can just point to the product and get information like country of origin, allergy information, expiry date, price etc by just pointing to the product .   There is no need to physically pick up the product and view all the details .

VR shows a lot of promise in the virtual maintenance trainings and education . But at this stage , the experience sometimes gets bit limited due to the bulky form factor of the HMD ( head mounted device ) .

Overall this tech shows lot of promise and is poised for growth down the line

There is better tooling , SDK
