Auki Labs: The Impact of Persistent AR

‍

In 2009, augmented reality (AR) burst onto the scene, capturing nearly as much fascination as social media.

Yet, as social media's star rose meteorically, AR's early buzz dimmed. In this presentation, Nils points to the solitary nature of AR experiences, confined to single devices, as a significant stumbling block—lacking the shared communal essence that propelled social media.

This shortfall stems from a technical bottleneck: devices struggle to pinpoint their precise location in three-dimensional space, with technologies such as GPS falling short in delivering the needed accuracy for a cohesive AR experience.

Beyond the limitations of GPS, the challenge of accurate point cloud comparisons also undermines the precision and immersive potential of AR. Nils proposes, taking a cue from Meme Theory, that AR's mainstream success hinges on its ability to offer shareable, exact, and enduring experiences.

Nils predicts that the shift from handheld devices to wearable AR technology will be crucial for its evolution, especially in fields such as advertising, where engagement and interactivity are key.

View the entire presentation to fully appreciate the potential of AR and unveil the exciting prospects of augmented reality that lie ahead.
