One untapped opportunity in AR is to position it as a local discovery engine. Similar to Google Lens, the idea is to evoke informational overlays for storefronts. When done organically, it can boost local commerce, as examined in ARtillery Intelligence’s recent geo-local AR report. Another way this can be done is in tandem with location-based gaming.
