Ubiquitous Knowledge Sharing with Mobile-Based Augmented Reality

Mobile-based augmented reality has advanced significantly in recent years.  With the introduction of ARKit on iOS and ARCore on Android, more practical AR applications are coming to life.  One promising application domain of AR is knowledge sharing.  With digital representation of objects in the physical world (some dubbed as ‘digital twins’), AR has the potential to revolutionize the way people acquiring knowledge, much like how search engine changed our knowledge acquisition habits years ago.  In this talk, I will present selected R&D effort conducted by IBM Research in this area and highlight the challenges toward realizing ubiquitous knowledge sharing. I will also try to make a case that we are at the right point on the hype curve of AR to solve these challenges, in both enterprise and consumer worlds.
