AR has been there for a while and has transformed our lives for better. Not only is the technology celebrated among the innovators and researchers, but also among the users. As techies relentlessly experiment to find new ways of doing things, AR has been exceptional aid to craft brilliant mobile applications.

As the market is already flooded with lots and lots of mobile apps, USP of your application highly determines its popularity among the users. Let’s explain this with the help of examples.
Imagine pursuing eCommerce app development the non-AR way. So, all your application will have to offer is the same old eCommerce app with some products listed, that users can add to the cart. This is followed by the checkout and then they are done. They can now sit back and wait for their products to be delivered at the doorstep. What special does it offer to the user? Undoubtedly, nothing.
Let’s take another example of real-estate app development. As a conventional app, the mobile application will only be able to provide details of the property or the images at the max. Again, do you have something different to offer here? We doubt.
Let’s check an AR-powered eCommerce application now. The user enters to shop for his favorite apparels. Thanks to the power of augmented reality, the user will actually able to know how does the product go for him. Imagine being this user. It feels priceless, isn’t it?
This is what Augmented Reality does for you by enabling you a golden opportunity to go beyond conventional ideas.

Offering mobile app that represents your business is cool and all. But, but, but… Offering them a mobile app significantly backed by Augmented Reality is incredible. Helping you establish yourself as an amazing brand, AR enables you to pursue mobile app development with an interactive experience. But that’s not just it.

Imagine not being at the location physically, but still being there to monitor everything. It is amazing, we know. So, might as well try it.

If your app offers real-life experience, there’s is nothing that can stop you from landing on the user’s smartphone. Capturing live events, or providing a 360-degree view to the destination users are traveling to, can get you the brownie points that nothing other can. eCommerce app development, event app development, telecom app development, or come what may, AR enables the users to relish the out-of-the-box real-life experience.
With an amazing experience, users are for sure to come. And with that, higher conversions, and of course higher sales.
#5. Enhance the Engagement Rate
Augmented Reality apps have the power to engage users more effectively by turning concepts into a digital rendering that overlaps reality. Thanks to aid enabled by AR, users can now relish services like virtual try-on, virtual fitting rooms, virtual home staging, and virtual home improvements.
Except this, mobile app developers can integrate high-end Augmented Reality features in the mobile apps to deliver superb performance in terms of rich, and more engaging experience.
#6. Build Brands with Mobile Apps that Offer Hyper-Relevant Experiences
Apple’s ARKit is expected to usher a completely new era in the mobile app development realm. It simply implies mobile app developers will now have new horizons to explore more with hyper-related experience. iOS/Android app developers will now be able to apply creativity while reimagining the static UI/ UX of existing apps. Simply how we have gone a long way from most basic augmentations of physical spaces to advanced ones like global scavenger hunt of Snapchat.
#7. Time-Saving Mobile App Experience
Assume you are looking for a property. As someone already into AR App development realm, we realize that there are three ways to do the same. The first one is to hire a broker who takes your from places to places, which is extremely time-consuming and that’s why we took a route to the mobile apps. Here, you can shortlist the properties, check out the images and features, and visit the ones that attract you. That said, how does it feel when you go there only to realize that it’s not worth it? Time wasting again.
And that’s where AR-enabled apps come in. You can have a look at the property before you physically go there to shortlist them out. And it saves a lot of your time.
Similar to this, AR can give you multiple advantages by incorporating AR into mobile app development.
