Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have been on the rise for the past decade, but the past year has seen some of this technology's most versatile use yet. AR and VR technology was used abundantly for online shopping to bring products to consumers. Furthermore, this technology was used abundantly by established museums worldwide to allow users to tour and admire the location and artworks virtually. This vast field is only expected to grow more rapidly this year by expanding its usage and purpose to other areas such as medicine, art, commerce and customer service.
