Augmented reality takes students on an immersive virtual tour to get them interested in learning different topics,  subjects and more. AR is one of the experiential learning techniques that maximize student motivation and engagement through interactive visuals. 

Manufacturing: AR, wearable cameras and smart glasses can influence the manufacturing system in factories. A combination of AR and wearables technologies can be used for assembling, maintenance, manufacturing, training, logistics management, and quality assurance. Interactive visuals produced with AR can accelerate manufacturing processes. The two technologies enable technicians to look up schematics and accelerate their work in real-time. For instance, the AR app can demonstrate a worker with smart glasses on how a particular machine part will fit in the final construction. 

Entertainment: Media, entertainment, and communication sectors are ripe for wearable technology. Wearable technology can make 7D movies more impactful with tactile features and provide better mechanisms to generate video content
