A few years ago, I was amazed by something called Google Glass. It was a very interesting project, even though the presentation was simple: a frame with a small glass cube on it, on which various information was projected. Little did I know that they were <\/span>experiencing with augmented reality<\/b>…<\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, it was altering what you were seeing. Or, if you prefer a more technical approach, we can say that <\/span>AR blends digital content with the real world<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some time passed and I eventually found that what Google tried to do was to become one of the first augmented reality companies on the market. But they failed, as the project didn\u2019t live their expectations. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, we\u2019re close to 2018 and AR is applied in nearly all fields, while the number of companies keeps growing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re focusing on some of the <\/span>most important players on the augmented reality market<\/b> and talk about their biggest and coolest projects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Augmented Reality companies of the moment <\/span><\/h2>\n

It may not be as popular and accessible as virtual reality, but there are a few augmented reality development companies which quickly managed to catch our attention. And we\u2019re talking about both tech giants and smaller companies, but with a lot of potential. Let\u2019s see what they were up to lately\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Google<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re one of the top companies in the world, you just can\u2019t ignore such a huge trend as augmented reality. And even though their first approach wasn\u2019t as successful as expected, just like mentioned above, Google didn\u2019t step aside. <\/span><\/p>\n

The search engine giant announced <\/span>the return of Glass as Glass Enterprise Edition<\/b>. However, this time, it had a completely different target, as it was presented as a \u201chands-free device, for hands-on workers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And guess what? This time, <\/span>it was received way better<\/b>, even though it wasn\u2019t designed exactly for the masses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Companies like General Electric and DHL started using Google Glass for their teams and reported <\/span>significant productivity gains<\/b>. Also, healthcare professionals relied on the wearable as well, using them to check out video and transcription of patient examinations, therefore saving a lot of time!<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s definitely a bright future for the project, if you ask us! <\/span><\/p>\n
