Is Augmented Reality the future of UX?

I'm paying close attention to AR and the benefits of immersive experiences

As a product designer, I’m always on the lookout for emerging technologies and educating myself about their potential. The three disruptive technologies that I’m paying attention to right now is Augmented Reality (AR), Chatbots, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

In this article, I’ll be focusing on augmented reality — stay tuned for chatbots and IoT in the future.

My goal is to familiarize myself with the industries that these technologies will disrupt and understand how I can utilize them to improve the UX in products that I design in the future.

I would consider these three technologies to be in the early adopter’s phase. Companies and users are only beginning to understand how they work as well as the potential benefits that they offer.

By learning how these technologies operate, I hope to be ahead of the curve and avoid being displaced as a product designer when these technologies become more mainstream, and the skillsets are more sought after in the design industry.
