Augmented Reality for Smarter Bangladesh

摘要

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience where the real world is enhanced by computer-generated content. It is often considered as a type of futuristic technology, but a part of it has been reality for years. It is a step between reality and virtual reality. Over the past several years AR technology has become more accessible and is starting to branch out into many different fields. AR can already be found in news, entertainment, sports, e-commerce, scientific research, education, marketing, and travel etc. But in Bangladesh there are virtually no applications of AR. In order to find out the potential of AR technology in Bangladesh this paper gives an overview of the technology, examines recent development of the technology abroad, and explores its sustainability and implications in Bangladesh from the education, medical and traffic management perspectives.
