• Tourism: Provides information about historical places and landmarks through AR.
• Shopping: Can help users find products or stores inside large shopping centres.
• Education: Can provide interactive information about objects and places.
• Emergency services: Can help rescue teams locate people and identify their surroundings.
• Smart glasses and AR applications: Can display directions and useful information directly over the user's surroundings.
