5. Video games
Minecraft on a computer is great, but what about using a Microsoft HoloLens to bring a craftable world right into their own living room? Recent updates to Apple's ARKit even support multiplayer games.
4. Interacting with everyday objects
What if objects provided you with more context and other ways to interact? Volodymyr Kurbatov shared this concept of a credit card that responds to swipes.
3. More immersive video calls
Ready to get in touch with people across the world? AR video calls could help people across the world communicate in a more immersive way. Microsoft's "holoportation" research shows how people could scan 3D versions of themselves and place them in recipients' own spaces.
2. Sampling online orders
If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it's that online shopping is a lifesaver in a pandemic. AR can help people look at furniture, art, or other items in their homes, or even try on clothes. Ikea already offers the technology with its Ikea Place app.
5. Map directions
Don't know which way you're going? Google Maps introduced a live view for directions last year, which demonstrates how AR could help people navigate by following giant virtual arrows instead of looking down at an on-screen map all the time.
