Key Things to Know About Augmented Reality

AR and VR are both immersive technologies that blend reality with the digital world. However, they provide different types of experiences.

AR overlays digital information onto the real world, adding virtual objects, images, or 3D models to the user's view of their physical environment. Devices like smartphones, tablets, and AR glasses allow the user to "see" digital information on top of the real world. For example, they might hold a device over text in another language and receive a translation in real time. Or, they can "try on" virtual clothing.

VR creates an entirely digital environment separate from reality. The user typically wears a VR headset that allows them to fully immerse themselves in the experience. VR is used for realistic training in military, aviation, and medical fields, as well as gaming, therapy, and other types of scenarios and fields. 

Best Practices for Augmented Reality in 2024

Design & User Experience

Prioritize intuitive user interfaces

For AR, it's crucial to ensure that user interactions are natural and seamless. We develop user interfaces that are intuitive and easy to navigate. 

Ensure AR elements enhance rather than distract

We design and develop software with AR elements that enhance the user experience and add value to the user journey and understanding. That means that the AR application is engaging and useful, rather than overwhelming or disorienting.

Design for accessibility and inclusivity

AR technology must account for user differences and diverse abilities. With accessibility guidelines and standards like WCAG, we follow universal design principles and include numerous ways to interact with our platforms. We also provide customization options according to your requirements and test the software with diverse users.

Test designs across different devices & environments

We test AR designs across a variety of platforms and environments. Those may include physical environments such as various lighting conditions and surfaces, high and low-bandwidth environments, different geographies, hardware, and operating systems.

Technical Development

Optimize for performance and battery life

Optimizing for performance and battery life is critical for providing a positive user experience. We employ practices like using efficient rendering techniques, offloading processing to the cloud when network conditions allow, and managing sensor usage.

Use reliable AR frameworks and libraries

Frameworks and libraries provide developers with a set of pre-built functionalities to reduce development complexity and time. Depending on the project requirements, we use frameworks like ARKit for iOS, ARCore for Android, and Unity's AR Foundation, Vuforia, and Wikitude for cross-platform development.

Incorporate spatial audio for immersive experiences

Spatial audio enhances the sense of presence and immersion for users. We incorporate spatial audio into AR apps to augment the sense that the user is in a 3D space, using specialized audio tools and SDKs.

Implement error handling for AR tracking failures

This is critical for maintaining a seamless user experience, no matter what the tracking conditions. Anticipating AR Tracking failures and implementing error-handling strategies improves the resilience of AR apps.

Content & Interaction

Create engaging and interactive AR content

Engagement is essential for AR software. We develop solutions that provide immersive experiences, incorporate interactive features, offer personalization options, and are accessible, inclusive, and meaningful.

Use animations and transitions smoothly

Smooth animations and transitions help users maintain a sense of reality when blending digital and physical environments. Optimizing performance, leveraging AR SDKs and engines, implementing interpolation, and prioritizing user interaction are just some of the strategies we use to build smooth and responsive experiences.

Ensure content is scalable and adaptable

We leverage cloud services, modular design, responsive and adaptive UI/UX, performance optimization techniques, user testing, and other strategies to ensure that AR content is scalable and adaptable. This is crucial for maintaining a consistent user experience across devices and environments.

Test user interactions for intuitiveness and responsiveness

We thoroughly test user interactions to assess how easily and effectively users can navigate and use the app. We also evaluate how quickly the app responds to user inputs.

Security & Privacy

Encrypt sensitive data & adhere to privacy laws

Robust security measures are always essential in a digital environment, especially when you're grappling with sensitive data. When we're building AR applications, we prioritize security, using techniques and tools like data encryption, user authentication and authorization mechanisms, and secure APIs.

Implement user consent for data collection

In order to comply with data privacy laws and regulations like the GDPR, it's important to implement user consent for data collection. Provide a transparent and easily accessible privacy policy outlining what data you collect and how it's used. Implement clear consent requests, and minimize collection as much as possible, among other measures.

Regularly update the app for security patches

Account for vulnerabilities and new threats by periodically releasing updates to your AR application. By releasing security patches, you can better protect user data and maintain user trust.
