Augmented Reality (AR) isn’t just sci-fi—it's quietly closing the gap between online browsing and real-world experience. In Kenya, forward-thinking sectors like real estate, education, and tourism are leading the AR revolution. This isn’t a future concept—it’s happening now, offering businesses a standout advantage.
Why AR Matters in Kenya
With smartphones becoming ubiquitous and mobile data more accessible, AR has exploded onto the scene.
By 2025, global AR is projected to hit $97.8B, and Kenyan industries are already jumping in.
