Not long ago, every new device came with a thick, well-illustrated manual. As the internet grew, those booklets slimmed down, then disappeared, replaced by a single page of instructions or a QR code linking to a video. Corporate documentation followed the same path: binders of procedures gave way to slimmer guides, then to digital help systems.
Now, technical writing is entering an immersive, three-dimensional phase.
Augmented Reality (AR) layers digital instructions onto the real world. Instead of static PDFs, imagine repair steps appearing directly on the equipment you’re fixing, or onboarding instructions guiding you through a process in real time. This shift is already underway in industries from aerospace to retail.
AR overlays digital content onto the real world, often viewed through smartphones, tablets, or Virtual Reality (VR) headsets. While exciting, creating effective AR experiences usually requires development tools and some technical know-how; you don’t need a $2,000 VR headset or an advanced degree to explore immersive documentation.
