This week's AR roundup features some very practical augmented and extended reality highlights. Warms a Finn's heart so much!

Snap's acquisition of Voca, Unity's OpenXR platform support, and an AR-AI concierge for commercial buildings are coming on next, so keep on reading!

Feels like the whole year has been a continuous bad-luck-day. Actually, only today, it's Friday the 13th in 2020. But, here we have some positive AR news to share!

This week brings us an AR DJ set from David Guetta, holographic sports broadcasts, an XR app for on-set direction, an AR smoke sculpture, Nreal's AR glasses set to launch in Japan, and Cadillac joining the AR display club. That's quite a lot, so let's dive in!

The infamous year of 2020 has changed almost everything in our lives - at least the cultural aspect. Galleries and museums are struggling with the loss of audience and visual artists from not displaying their work. 

Today, we're at the dawn of something new, as a visual artist Jani Leinonen is one of the first in the frontline to try out a novel way of displaying art.

Augmented reality is on its way to make us superheroes - by enhancing our senses. Facebook and Apple are up to bettering our hearing and seeing.

Not only is AR amazing in aiding with visual and audio challenges, but it is also great in entertainment. Disney is possibly making moves towards AR experiences! Read on for this week's AR updates!

Another week has passed, and another collection of immersive technology news is here! This time, we have some techy stuff regarding AR wearables and Google's deed for the Halloween weekend.

Commercial AR headsets take a step forward, AI finger mouse offers gesture controls for spatial computing, and Google brings Halloween to life.

This week we're on a search for great AR applications, once again. Google and Amazon are both leveling up their game on search bars. 

Search is easier also in Mercedes-Benz's new S-Class car, with an augmented reality windshield! We did write about this a few weeks back, but it just goes too well with the other search-themed content we have!

Also, brand new Christmas chocolate flavors with AR experiences become available to search soon.

This week's augmented reality insights bring us both tech and entertainment. AR indeed goes many ways and works in many applications!

Amazon launches a Halloween AR experience so you can become a pumpkin yourself, Apple takes another step towards the future of AR, and virtual voguing and razzle-dazzle.

AR looks to the future and travels to the past this week! AR goggles for dogs and an app to turn yourself into a painting or check how you'd look with an ancient Egyptian necklace on you.

And, as we speak of ancient Egypt, a little tip for some weekend fun made possible with augmented reality.

The adoption of augmented reality is taking big leaps forward this week!

Verizon expands 5G Home Internet and offers an AR solution for an easy setup, augmented reality disappeared from the Gartner's Hype Cycle, and, yes, another AR game to brighten our weekends! 

Halloween season is knocking on the door, so what better way to go trick-or-treating than with an AR Ghostbusters game?

This week also brought us an augmented reality honey water tasting, Apple's AR audio development, and an AR app for the AXR+EXP concert series.
