Augmented Reality-AR seems to be a significant future technology, and with each passing day, it is getting more and more heed from the Tech world. With this article let us learn what is AR Zone Application that can be found in Samsung smartphones after the One UI 2.5 update?
Some major tech giants have been investing in their AR technology, and moving forward you will see a lot more joining the race. Facebook with their Spark AR technology has been making quite some noise lately, Apple too has been working on their technology.
Let’s get started with what Augmented Reality is, then we will move ahead with Samsung’s AR Zone Application.
What is AR – Augmented Reality Technology?
Augmented Reality in simple words uses information like Text, Image, Sound to create illusional 3D holographic images in a user’s real-world environment. It adds extra digital elements to the camera to gather and deploy way more information than a regular camera.
Unlike Virtual Reality – VR, users do not emerge into a completely virtual environment in AR, rather, an interactive holographic image will be merged into the user’s real-world environment.
Watch the video below to learn how it actually works.
What is AR Zone App?
AR Zone App is Samsung’s effort to develop its augmented reality technology, it is right now only available for Samsung users with One UI 2.5 and later.
