Disruptive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing the face of enterprises as we know it. Appearition is constantly working towards educating young minds in these technologies and making them future ready.

WHAT IS
AR
AN ENHANCED VERSION OF REALITY WHERE PHYSICAL AND REAL-WORLD ENVIRONMENTS ARE AUGMENTED WITH SUPERIMPOSED COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGES
Though AR/VR arrived, so to speak, maybe about three years back, significant impact or adoption (usage) is yet to be seen, be it in the consumer space (though we have VR centres in some malls or VR headgear sold with smartphones) or in the enterprise space
Digital transformation will impact job roles in future. Hence, it is important to shape the role of an educator. Market leaders predict that Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) will change the basics of how teachers teach.

It is common knowledge that as technology evolves, individuals are becoming more informed and driven to create content aligned to their passions. Think about the content you are seeing in your social feeds â your colleagueâs oddball memes, Aunt Sue with puppyâs ears and your old school mate Trevor Lam and his latest âwork of artâ â everyone around us is getting more and more able to express their creativity and publish it too. Facebook Augmented Reality (AR) is going to allow people to express themselves a whole lot more.
Over the past few years â you would have heard us refer to Tomi T Ahonen â a thought leader in the tech space with a distinct passion for AR and author of 12 books on mobile. We are delighted to share a brief QnA that Tomi was kind enough to do with us â 5 questions, 5 minutes (and a bit) â Enjoy!
In the last update, the team completed our shoot on Melbourne Regatta Day aboard the tall sailing ship Enterprize, capturing content from a 19th century costumed musician, to a fire-fighting boat shooting jets of water into the air.
