The future of augmented reality is very promising and its use is expected to become even more widespread in the coming years. it has the potential to transform many industries, such as education, tourism, healthcare, entertainment, advertising, manufacturing and logistics. For example, in education, augmented reality can help students visualize abstract concepts, such as molecules in chemistry or cell structures in biology, in a more interactive and memorable way. In tourism, augmented reality can enhance the visitor experience by providing additional information about the places they are visiting. In healthcare, augmented reality can help doctors perform more precise procedures and patients better understand their medical conditions.
