Introduction
Augmented reality is the future, and it’s only just begun. The truth is that augmented reality has been around for a very long time, even though most people think of it as something new. Think about when you look at your phone and notice that there are ads on the app icons or in between other apps. This kind of augmentation has existed since smartphones first became popular. However, now we’re seeing companies like Apple and Google invest heavily into this technology to make it better for consumers: Instead of merely placing ads on top of screens (which can be annoying), AR will soon allow us to interact with brands in new ways that make sense within our everyday lives—and with no ads involved!
Augmented Reality is very cool and amazing, but there are some limitations.
The limitations of augmented reality are the same as any other technology. It’s a new field, so there are things we don’t know about it yet and some things that we haven’t figured out how to do yet. But this is not a reason to be negative about the future of AR–it’s just part of being human! The fact that we have these limitations means that there are still many more possibilities for us to explore in the future.
Some of the things that are annoying about augmented reality are the same as other things that are limiting to this technology.
In many ways, AR is like a baby. It’s new and exciting, but it has a lot of growing up to do before it’s ready for prime time. Some of the things that are annoying about augmented reality are the same as other things that are limiting to this technology:
- The technology is still very new. This means there are bugs in software and hardware as well as limitations on what developers can make work with their apps or games.
- The technology is expensive–both for consumers and businesses looking at large-scale implementations (like retail stores). For example, if you want an AR headset for yourself right now there aren’t any good options under $500; meanwhile companies like Amazon have been experimenting with AR tech since 2016 but haven’t launched anything yet because they need more time to refine their offerings.* *The problem isn’t just price–there aren’t enough apps available either! So even if someone wants one badly enough they might not be able to find any worthwhile ones until months after launch day.*
The limitations of AR can be frustrating, but they show how much more there is to come from this technology.

The fact that augmented reality is still in its infancy means that there are limitations. However, these limitations aren’t unique to AR; they are also seen in other technologies. For example, if you want to use Google Maps on your phone or computer without an internet connection then you’ll have to rely on GPS location data instead of the map itself being available offline–and similarly with many other applications today (like Snapchat or Facebook Messenger).
Conclusion
We can’t wait to see what’s next for AR. As this technology becomes more accessible and affordable, we are sure that many more people will start using it. This means that there will be more opportunities for developers to create new apps and games that take advantage of augmented reality technology!
