As we usher in a new era in technological innovation, it's becoming apparent that brands and consumers will interact very differently in the Web 3.0 world - and the metaverse that is emerging from it. By blending physical with digital, we will see the rise of hybrid experiences where immersion, personalization and connectivity will become some of the key selling points.

And with new patterns of behavior and consumption slowly taking shape, brands will have to re-invent themselves to align with audiences in the metaverse. What is important to take note of is that the marketing of today will not translate well in a virtual world; from advertising to purchasing channels and the very nature of the interests of consumers, marketers and advertisers will face a new set of challenges.

The metaverse is being billed a trillion dollar market opportunity. Some brands with deep pockets like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren, are already carving out their influence in the metaverse - and making big money with their first forays into virtual worlds. Even for those who aren’t willing to commit just yet, brand experimentation has become a top trend to follow.

And while we’re just at the tip of this technological advancement, there are already real-world areas that can benefit from having a presence in a virtual world. Perhaps without much surprise, advertising and marketing are likely to become an even bigger industry in the metaverse given the new (and extremely profitable) avenues that are being opened up.

In this post, we will be discussing advertising in the metaverse, from the advertising channels of the future to the pros and cons of embracing this technological development.


## What Is The Metaverse

The metaverse is a virtual space that blends real world and virtual realities into one, in real time, using emerging technology like virtual and augmented reality to create highly immersive 3D environments. Some are calling it the successor to the current internet, as the next big step in interactive digital experiences.

With a vast number of possibilities at play, the metaverse is quickly becoming an influential platform for socialization, creative pursuits, business, gaming, entertainment, and more.

Currently, the closest experience we have to the metaverse are gaming platforms like Roblox , Axie Infinity and Fortnite, as well as open-source virtual worlds, including Decentraland, and the Sandbox. These platforms offer shared 3D worlds where users can engage in a number of experiences beyond gaming.

In [Sensorium Galaxy](https://sensoriumxr.com/galaxy), for example, users will be able to attend music concerts and meet their favorite artists, as well as move within the many worlds within this metaverse, connecting with new people, exploring new forms of self-expression and exploration, creating dances and striking relationships with virtual AI-driven beings. Users will also be offered deep levels of customization of both their avatars and their experience with Sensorium Galaxy.

With virtual worlds becoming the new marketing and advertising frontier, there are a key metaverse concepts that advertisers will want to leverage:


Key characteristics of the metaverse.jpg

**Hyper social:** opportunities to meet and connect with new people will become much bigger due to the shared nature of virtual worlds.

**Scalability:** Hundreds of millions of people (and their avatars) will be able to coexist, at the same time, in the metaverse.

**Accessibility:** All users, regardless of their age, background, religion or location, will be able to join the metaverse.

**New forms of content:** Immersive and interactive content generated by users and that can’t take shape in the real world, can finally emerge in the metaverse.

**Bridge between physical and digital:** Blurring the lines between both worlds allows people to interact with experiences, products and services in more compelling ways.


## Key Metaverse Terms Advertisers Should Know

As we explained in our last article ‘[Metaverse Meaning: Definition, Origin and Opportunities](https://sensoriumxr.com/articles/metaverse-meaning)’, the term metaverse is a combination of the Greek prefix “meta” (meaning beyond) and “verse” from the word universe. The concept was first coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel ’Snow Crash’. 

However, only in the last year has the metaverse really exploded, entering the mainstream on the back of big tech news like Facebook’s rebrand as Meta at the end of 2021.

Since then, the metaverse has gone from being a tech buzzword to becoming a major area of investment for companies across all industries.


Meta Advertising.jpg

Brands will no longer be limited to physical spaces — or physical products — as the value of digital goods (in the form of non-fungible tokens), keeps growing. The idea is that instead of going to a physical store and picking up your favorite products, you could simply purchase them in the metaverse and get them delivered at home. Sounds like Deliveroo, we know, but in the metaverse there’s much more than you can do at the same time you’re shopping, like attending a metaverse concert or gathering with your friends.

Experiences will be increasingly integrated into one space, creating more opportunities for users. Or that’s at least the plan of companies like [McDonald’s](https://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-metaverse-virtual-online-restaurant-trademark-delivers-food-web3-nft-2022-2), which will be adding a whole range of services to its standard home delivery options.

Before we get to the details, it’s worth taking a look at the key metaverse ideas that advertisers and ad ad agencies should be aware of:

**Virtual reality (VR)**

Virtual reality is an immersive and interactive experience in a simulated environment. You can enter a 360-degree environment with the help of an interface like a head-mounted device. This way, VR provides visual, sensory and auditory feedback, allowing users to immerse themselves fully in virtual worlds and environments, like the metaverse.

Virtual reality technology has been around for quite a while now, but it has only started maturing and becoming more accessible in recent years. More recent advancements have made the use of VR and its interfaces, like VR headsets, much more practical, widespread and accessible.

**Augmented reality (AR)**

Augmented reality is a technologically enhanced version of the real world, achieved by superimposing a computer-generated image in a real-world, physical space. Visual and sound stimuli are added to enhance immersion.

**Mixed reality (MR)**

Mixed reality is a broad technological category that refers to “mixed” experiences that result of an overlap of human and computer processing input. As described [here](https://delight-vr.com/xr-glossary/), Mixed reality technology overlays artificial content onto the real world and enables the artificial content to interact with the real world scenery. VR and AR lie on the mixed reality spectrum, which extends between physical and digital worlds.

**Extended Reality (XR)**

Extended reality encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), and any form of immersive technology capable of extending reality by blending real-world elements and virtual world. XR includes human-machine interactions that have an effect on cognition and senses, like VR headsets, AR glasses and even implants.

**Avatar**

An avatar is a computer-generated representation of users in a virtual world or metaverse. In essence, it’s your virtual persona.

**Blockchain**

Blockchain technology provides a way to store information digitally that is nearly impossible to change or hack. Blockchain also powers cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as being the technology behind non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

**Cryptocurrency**

Virtual currency, or cryptocurrency, is the main means of payment in the metaverse. This type of currency is kept in digital wallets and secured through highly complex cryptography. There is no central regulation or oversight over cryptocurrency as it goes through decentralized systems, which help issue and track cryptocurrency tokens.

**Non-Fungible tokens (NFTs)**

An NFT is a unique digital asset stored on a blockchain. It represents real-world items like music, art, collectibles, and much more. And NFT will give you true digital ownership of a one-of-a-kind asset.




## Ways To Advertise In The Metaverse

So, how can brands advertise in the metaverse and profit from the technology? As the metaverse is far from being a fully-formed platform, we can’t predict the full scope of opportunities, but there are a few trends emerging. Many are an extension of real-world, tried-and-tested strategies including:

### 1. In-metaverse Advertising






Around Metaverse Advertising Billboards.jpg

Ok, granted. This might not be the most exciting development, but digital advertising isn’t really going anywhere. In some metaverse-like platforms, including Roblox, Fortnite and Decentraland, you are likely to come across some form of metaverse advertising, most commonly a virtual billboard. This is a model that has worked well for in-gaming advertising in platforms like Tiki-Taka Soccer and FIFA Mobile, and can translate well in the metaverse. Certainly taking note of the potential, brands like Coca-Cola, Samsung, Balenciaga and Adidas are doubling down on their presence in the metaverse, with splashy PR and advertising campaigns to match. But while a billboard or a banner might seem old-school IRL, they’re an untapped channel in the metaverse, still.

### 2. Virtual Influencers

Imma Virtual Influencer.jpg

Influencer marketing is one of the most powerful tools to advertise and sell products these days. And while that might not change in the metaverse, brands are increasingly exploring partnerships with a new breed of social media stars - virtual influencers. There are many upsides to this strategy, from making more creative campaigns to being most cost efficient. Virtual models are also more easily manageable, which can be another great advantage for some advertisers. Influencers like [Lil Miquela](https://www.instagram.com/lilmiquela/?hl=en), [Shudu](https://www.instagram.com/shudu.gram/?hl=en) and [Imma ](https://www.instagram.com/imma.gram/?hl=en)frequently nabbing high-profile campaigns with the likes of Calvin Klein, Balmain, Valentino and Dior. That isn’t to say that human influencers won’t have a place in the metaverse. As mentioned by marketing consultancy group [R3](https://twitter.com/R3WW/status/1468947293650964485), users will still be able to follow digital influencers the same way they do now, while brands will continue partnering and collaborating with various influencers to “make a splash” in the metaverse.

### 3. Metaverse Events


Ariana Grande and Fortnite Concert-1.jpg

[Fortnite](https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home) and [Roblox](https://www.roblox.com/) have led the way in reaching large scale audiences with entertainment events like concerts by the likes of Travis Scott, Lil Nas and Ariana Grande, each pulling in millions of fans. Just like in real-life with massive events like, say, the Super Bowl, metaverse concerts, summits, sports events, etc, are incredible advertising opportunities. From rolling out full-on ads to more subtle product placements, consumers are going to interactive advertising across the metaverse.


### 4. Metaverse Commerce

Lotte Duty Free Metaverse Advertising Options

Lotte Duty Free Metaverse Advertising.jpg

One of the key trends emerging has been the rise of the direct-to-avatar (D2A) economy, where brands sell digital products targeted at enhancing user’s avatars. These digital goods can already count on a massive market potential, in line with in-game spending trends we’ve seen in recent years. In 2025, the market value of in-game purchases is [projected](https://www.statista.com/statistics/558952/in-game-consumer-spending-worldwide/) to surpass 74.4 billion U.S. dollars.

Much of the hype has to do with the use of non-fungible tokens to support virtual economies. In the metaverse, digital goods are exchanged as NFTs, which makes them entirely unique while ensuring their ownership is protected. These assets can range from content to collectibles, and so far they’ve proven to be a highly monetizable market.

Nike, for example, has become a permanent fixture in Roblox where it established [Nikeland](https://www.roblox.com/nikeland). This virtual showroom is filled with virtual racks of Nike NFT shoes, clothes, and accessories which users can easily purchase and wear in the metaverse. Coca Cola recently launched its own collection of NFT wearables in Decentraland, to which it has now also added a [metaverse drink](https://nypost.com/2022/04/05/coca-cola-launches-virtual-drink-inside-the-metaverse/). A raft of other brands, including Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Samsung, Wendy’s and McDonald’s are also offering NFTs across virtual worlds.


## Why Is The Metaverse Lucrative For Advertising

Although it’s predicted to balloon into a [multi-trillion dollar industry](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/citi-says-metaverse-economy-could-142208855.html#:~:text=The%20investment%20bank%2C%20in%20a,many%20as%205%20billion%20users.)), for now the metaverse remains an affordable destination for advertising. The prices of running a campaign or renting a metaverse billboard aren’t particularly high, making it a potentially lucrative opportunity to target new audiences entering the metaverse.

Not only is advertising in the metaverse a novel tool, but it will also have a far wider reach when compared to traditional marketing and advertising strategies.

Brands will, in particular, want to target millennials and Gen Z audiences, as those are already largely familiar with digital experiences and virtual worlds, particularly in gaming. There are currently nearly three million active gamers in the world. In the [U.S. alone](https://financesonline.com/number-of-gamers-worldwide/), 68% of American adults (163.3 million) are gamers, while 70% of American kids aged 18 and below (or 51.1 million) are gamers, too.

In addition, with crypto and NFTs becoming increasingly mainstream, these segments are only poised for massive adoption and growth in virtual worlds. In fact, the metaverse is already becoming a leading destination for NFTs, with even famed auction house Sotheby’s launching a [virtual gallery in Decentraland](https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/06/07/crypto-crazed-sothebys-launches-first-virtual-gallery-in-digital-metaverse-decentraland).

Finally, with real-world limitations out of the way, advertising in the metaverse can reach new heights - without breaking the bank. Take for example Gucci’s uber successful Gucci Garden campaign, a virtual recreation of one of the fashion house’s most fantastical advertising campaign sets. Inside this virtual space hosted inside Roblox, users (avatars) could walk through a forest-like scenario, completely open to the sky, while also browsing through Gucci’s digital fashion collection.

As a result of this activation, the famed Italian fashion house managed to sell a virtual bag for more than its real-life counterpart.


## Key Benefits of Metaverse Advertising

Throughout history, advertising has been quick to embrace new trends and technological leaps. The metaverse is now opening, again, a new era to be tapped into - and a new platform through which advertisers and marketers can reach audiences. As such, brands need to start considering taking the first steps to embrace virtual worlds, with some of the top advantages of advertising in the metaverse being:

### Unlimited turnout

A metaverse has no limit to the amount of people that can enter it - and experience it concurrently. This means that advertisers can reach an unlimited audience, something that technology doesn’t currently allow as there are very few events that can gather millions of people at the same time in one place.

### Boundless infrastructure possibilities

The sky's the limit when it comes imagining and conceptualizing the metaverse. Without the restraints of the real-world, like gravity, lack of space or even budget, there’s nothing in the way to what can be built in a virtual world. Whatever you dream, that can become possible in the metaverse.

### High-volume monetization

Through blockchain and smart contracts, the metaverse promises to give its users true ownership over digital assets. This is an enticing prospect for creators. Artists can easily mint their art pieces or content and sell it as an NFT, meaning they’re a one-of-kind digital asset. Some celebrities, influencers and content creators are also using this technology to connect with fans and followers in more meaningful ways, including releasing exclusive content that goes straight to buyers.

### Personalization

In recent years, marketing and advertising has shifted from a “one-to-many'' to a more personal “one-to-one” approach, with ads becoming ever more tailored to the people they aim to reach. This is a strategy that’s been particularly important to capture the attention of younger generations, who don’t want to feel just like another, faceless person in a big audience. Leveraging the potential of VR, AR and AI to forge deeper relationships with customers in the metaverse is a must-follow strategy for brands who want to become relevant and engaging in the metaverse.


## Why Should Brands Advertise in the Metaverse

 

### First mover advantage

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. The metaverse is, for now, a novelty about which there’s still relatively little understanding. But that presents an opportunity for those ready to learn about it - and take the challenge head on. There’s no need for a big commitment like opening up a virtual store and having a permanent presence in the metaverse. Brands can opt for experimenting with smaller advertising, like buying a banner within a game or a virtual music concert, or using AR to increase engagement.

Nikeland and Roblox Metaverse.jpg

### Innovative cross-channel mix

Part of keeping up the trends is updating strategies to match not only changing consumer behaviors but also the channels that are the most important to audiences. With more people entering the metaverse, it’s worth taking a look at what is behind the move and study the evolution of behaviors and interests. Just like the first users and brands that embraced Facebook or Instagram, so too the metaverse will be a relevant channel for consumers. Having a presence there, even if small, can make a difference in the long run. On the other hand, the metaverse is the perfect creative asset for advertisers, who can run real-world campaigns in parallel to actions in the metaverse.

### Endless Creative Possibilities

The metaverse is a blank canvas where creativity can be fully unleashed. With the laws of physics out of the way, advertisers can make use of innovative tools to conceptualize campaigns. Currently, we’re seeing a growing disinclination and indifference toward advertising. Many consumers, including you maybe, are proactively avoiding ads and paying for ad-free experiences. However, this doesn’t have to be a reality in the metaverse as there will be more ways to engage users. This means appealing not just to their eyes and ears, but to all their senses. Multi-sensory simulation in the metaverse will be made possible, in great part, thanks to the use of haptic technology, allowing users to have a real sense of presence and contact with their virtual environments in ways that aren’t possible today.


## Challenges of Metaverse Advertising

While the metaverse is a very tempting platform for marketing and advertising, there are a few caveats to be aware of before jumping in.

### Security

Now more than ever, data privacy is at the top of consumer’s concerns - and demands. Without clear cybersecurity protocols in place, it will be hard to bring in adopters and convince them to engage with brands in the metaverse. It might be that, at the end of the day, it will be up to brands to ensure that their digital presence and footprint remains safe.

### Regulation

Tech giants have faced increased scrutiny over their perceived failure to adequately moderate and regulate content on their platforms. The issue will prove equally as relevant in the metaverse, whose very nature relies on decentralization. With such a model, self-regulation will be key. But even so, with users regulating other users, as is the case with platforms like Decentraland, the issue could still prove elusive. A solution might be using smart contracts to stamp inappropriate content or tackle misinformation.

### Lack of adoption

Consumer adoption of the interfaces needed to enter the metaverse, in particular VR headsets, is picking up pace but it remains low for now. The same goes for the adoption rate of VR technology more broadly, with user experience being frequently singled out as one of the top barriers to mainstream adoption. Adding to a relatively slow hardware adoption, there is also a hurdle tied to virtual reality content, which has also experienced an underwhelming reception so far. Data from Forrester has found that only 34% and 28% of US and UK online adults, respectively, are excited for what the metaverse will offer, and less than 25% in both countries demonstrate the kind of intense gaming and social media activities conducive to metaverse early adoption.

### Measuring Metrics

Measuring and tracking can be particularly challenging in the metaverse as there are no clear metrics in place. One of the biggest challenges has become assessing return on investment, a key metric for any advertiser and marketer. Without knowing exactly what they’re getting out of their money, it’s challenging to justify budgets to advertising clients. As explained by Cathy Hackl, brands might struggle in the beginning to assess potential OKRs [objectives and key results] and the potential ROI, as even projections on numbers are constantly evolving. It’s only likely that in the metaverse, marketing metrics will go beyond just likes, subscribers and shares.





##  Tips to Get Started with Metaverse Advertising

So, what will advertising 3.0 look like? Hard to tell. We are yet to enter a full-fledged metaverse. But brands have started experimenting with some tools and strategies that will certainly payoff when it comes to advertising in the metaverse:

### Augmented reality marketing




Unlike virtual reality, which depends on VR headsets and more complex data, augmented reality is a tool much easier to use as consumers need only their smartphones to access AR-based experiences. Brands like [Zara](https://futurestoreseast.wbresearch.com/blog/zara-augmented-reality-app-virtual-model-strategy#:~:text=Fast%20fashion%20retailer%20Zara%20has,of%20augmented%20reality%20in%20retail.)) and [Chanel](https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/chanel-lipscanner-virtual-reality-app-48177165), for example, have experimented with AR technology to enrich their shopping offerings, while social networks like Instagram and Snapchat have a vast selection of AR filters. Augmented reality is a way for marketers to interact with customers they may not have had access to before, opening up new opportunities for personalization, leading to more successful campaigns in the long run.

### Virtual reality advertising



Vntana Meta 3D Advertising.jpg

Virtual reality is the latest technology to get the full attention of advertisers. It has the potential to be more immersive and interactive than any other form of traditional advertising. Virtual reality advertising can be used for many purposes, including product demonstrations, 360-degree videos and virtual tours. Recently, Meta [announced](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vntana-brings-3d-advertising-facebook-133300812.html) that it would be integrating 3D ads to Facebook and Instagram advertising, saying the step will help consumers have a better understanding of the products they engage with online.

### Video marketing

Video marketing is already one of the cornerstones of today's marketing practices. In the metaverse, it will include videos linked to specific themes related to customers and appear as part of personalized presentations. As predicted by industry experts, metaverse video marketing will make use of technology like eye and motion capture, facial expression recognition and voice recognition, allowing advertisers to use it as a metric to better gauge the feedback of viewers regarding a product or piece of content being presented.

### Live streaming

As a shared space where users can easily hang out with others like friends and family, live streaming is another tool through which connection can be achieved. Live streaming brings in an element of real-time presence and connectivity, which advertisers can continue using to their advantage, as they already do in platforms like Meta, Instagram or Twitch.





## Bottom Line

The metaverse is yet to fully emerge but it is already presenting opportunities for brands to market their products and services more creatively. Not only can advertisers use innovative tools to reinvent their approach, virtual worlds also open the door to engagement with wider audiences, at a scale so large that is nearly impossible to currently replicate. Hopefully, our guide has helped you get a better grasp of what is advertising in the metaverse and some steps you can start taking now to kickstart your metaverse experience.

Best Artificial Intelligence Courses In 2022

Artificial intelligence has been a recurring theme of the silver screen since its earliest days, captivating (and frequently, horrifying) audiences with the prospect of sentient robots capable of equaling mankind’s unique traits like consciousness and ability to feel emotions. Over the decades, potential technological advancements were imagined in a myriad of ways. But more than that, sci-fi movies have also asked questions related to the moral, ethical and societal consequences of the use of technology like AI. In this article, we will be listing the 23 Best artificial intelligence movies that you can watch in 2022. So, in no particular order, let's dive in:


Best AI Movies The Matrix .jpg

It’s been over two decades since audiences were invited to take the red pill and question everything they knew about reality with the Matrix. This cyberpunk masterpiece is set in a not-too-distant future where a robotic AI system has enslaved human beings who are, however, unaware they’re trapped inside a simulated reality. Computer programmer/ hacker “Neo '' stumbles upon the truth and joins a rebellion together with others who had been freed against the Matrix, setting off an epic showdown between humans and dark-suited, sunglasses-sporting ‘Agents’, who’re in autonomous software programs. It’s hard to capture the full extent of the movie’s visionary concept. And what is the Matrix after all you may ask? Well, to quote directly from the movie, “You can’t be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself”. The Matrix series remains a must-watch even after all these years. 

**Synopsis:** Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth- the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity.

**Directors:** Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski
**Top cast:** Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano.
**Critic's rating:** 80% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Ex Machina.jpg

With the debate over artificial intelligence and whether the technology will ever become fully conscious as the starting point, Ex Machina follows a young coder as he gets to spend a week at his reclusive boss’s remote mansion, testing his latest creation - an AI robot. The task is to determine whether the humanoid, Ava, is capable of demonstrating humanlike intelligence. However, not everything is as it seems, as the humans behind this tech project come to find out, with some fatal results. This brilliant AI movie has also won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects. 

**Synopsis:** Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) , a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm's brilliant CEO. When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined.

**Director:** Alex Garland
**Top cast:** Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Sonoya Mizuno.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Blade Runner.jpg

When it comes to the best sci-fi films, it's hard to top Blade Runner. Based on author Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’, Blade Runner is the quintessential cyberpunk classic that plunges viewers into a dystopian universe from which is hard to escape untouched. Set in a neon-lit 2019 LA, the movie pits bioengineered humanoids (human replicants developed without the capacity to have emotions) against real humans. After six Replicants escape to earth in a bid to locate their creator and extend their limited life span of four years, a Blade Runner, played by Harrison Ford, is tasked with finding and shooting these humanoids.

**Synopsis:** “Blade Runner” Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James.
**Critic's rating:** 89% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies 2001 A Space Odyssey.jpg

Visionary director Stanley Kubrick set out to explore the idea of human coexistence with sentient computers in outer space in this futuristic epic that will have you thinking of red lights in... shall we say... a very different way. We won’t unveil much as to the why, but the cult classic delves deep into the reliance of humans on technology - and what happens when intelligent robots simply decide to rebel and take over. It’s a pretty chilling thought, especially when this dark apocalyptic thriller gets to the now infamous "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.”

**Synopsis:** An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer intelligent system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Douglas Rain.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.3/10 IMDb


A.I. Artificial Intelligence Movie Poster

Best AI Movies A.I. Artificial Intelligence.jpg

Stanley Kubrick had long planned to adapt author Brian Aldiss’s sci-fi short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long into a movie before his death in 1999. Afterwards, Steven Spielberg inherited the rights to the tale, intending to follow through on Kubrick's original vision. The unrealized project became A.I. Artificial Intelligence, a film about David, a young cybertronic humanoid designed to help a couple overcome the absence of their ailing son. As a first of the kind, David is capable of having human emotions and the plot centers around his attempts to discover his true nature - and the secret behind his identity. Viewers are led to question the deeper issues behind using AI to create human-like systems and the collectible responsibility it should bring with it.

**Synopsis:** A robotic boy, the first programmed to love, David (Haley Joel Osment) is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee (Sam Robards) and his wife (Frances O'Connor). Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David. Without final acceptance by humans or machines, David embarks on a journey to discover where he truly belongs, uncovering a world in which the line between robot and machine is both vast and profoundly thin.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O'Connor, Brendan Gleeson, William Hurt.
**Critic's rating:** 75% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.2/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Minority Report.jpg

Making a comeback, just a year after the release of A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Steven Spielberg delved once more into AI technology with Minority Report. Starring Tom Cruise as Precrime police officer John Anderton, this neo-noir movie is set primarily in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia in a distant future, where PreCrime cops are able to arrest criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics known as 'precogs’. The dilemma arises when Anderton is accused of a future crime and has to run from his own unit while trying to prove his innocence.

Minority Report turned out to be predictive of modern computer science, foretelling technologies that have since become commonplace, including personalized ads, voice automation and gesture controlled computers. Even predictive policing, arguably Minority Report’s biggest theme, has become a reality nowadays. PredPol, an AI-based tool, has been deployed in approximately 40 agencies across the United States since 2012 to predict and prevent future crime.

**Synopsis:** Based on a story by famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is an action-detective thriller set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow.
**Critic's rating:** 90% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies The Terminator.jpg

This Arnie action-packed movie has become one of the most popular sci-fi movies ever made - and it may be the reason why so many of us are distrustful of artificial intelligence technology. In it, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 by Skynet, a sentient computer, in order to kill the woman that would one day give birth to the man responsible for saving humanity against a robot threat. James Cameron’s dystopian machine dominance film explores the topic of AI consciousness, superintelligence and tech ethics.

**Synopsis:** Disguised as a human, a cyborg assassin known as a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) travels from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). Sent to protect Sarah is Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), who divulges the coming of Skynet, an artificial intelligence system that will spark a nuclear holocaust. Sarah is targeted because Skynet knows that her unborn son will lead the fight against them. With the virtually unstoppable Terminator in hot pursuit, she and Kyle attempt to escape.

**Director:** James Cameron
**Top cast:** Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn.
**Critic's rating:** 100% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Robocop.jpg

Fascination with all things ‘cyberpunk’ reached fever pitch in the 80’s, not just with cult classics like Blade Runner (1982) and The Terminator (1984), but also greatly thanks to Paul Verhoeven’s human/machine action-packed revenge thriller - Robocop. The backdrop of this sci-fi movie is dystopian, crime-ridden Detroit where a police officer named Alex J. Murphy is recreated by a shady megacorporation - Omni Consumer Products - as a cyborg known as RoboCop after being murdered by a vicious criminal gang. The part-man, part-machine super-cop is then tasked with cleaning up the city’s streets, while struggling to understand some of his repressed (human) memories as they resurface. RoboCop is said to be the movie that first raised the issue of AI Ethics, laying out some of the potential dangers of misusing the technology. Despite being over three decades old, RoboCop remains one of the top artificial intelligence films ever made. 

**Synopsis:** In a dystopic, gang-ridden Detroit in near-collapse. In an effort to stamp out crime, the forces in power reconstruct the body of a policeman, killed on duty, within a steel shell and call it RoboCop. Plagued by memories of his death, he hunts down the supervillian responsible for it.

**Director:** Paul Verhoeven
**Top cast:** Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith.
**Critic's Rating:** 90% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.6/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies I am Your Man.jpg

This German romantic dramedy explores the growing bond between a skeptical scientist, Alma, and an artificial intelligence humanoid, who she is temporarily hosting as part of an experiment for a study. The robot, Tom, was designed specifically to recreate Alma’s idea of a perfect partner, being perfectly tailored to meet her deepest romantic expectations and needs. However, living with this almost pathologically perfect robot companion doesn’t turn out to be quite as expected, as deeper questions of existentialism and the interconnection between human life, love and technology seep through the relationship. More than a rom-com, I Am You Man is a thought-provoking take on the complexity of AI and the man-machine co-existence.

**Synopsis:** Alma is a scientist at the famous Pergamon Museum in Berlin. In order to obtain research funds for her work, she is persuaded to participate in an extraordinary study. For three weeks, she has to live with a humanoid robot tailored to her character and needs, whose artificial intelligence is designed to be the perfect life partner for her.

**Director:** Maria Schrader
**Top cast:** Maren Eggert, Dan Stevens, Sandra Hüller, Hans Löw, Annika Meier, Jürgen Tarrach.
**Critic's rating:** 96% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.1/10 IMDb

The first uses of AI can be seen in today's technology, with interactive apps, voice-driven personal virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, automated cars, and suggested search ideas seen on search engines like Google.

In the future, artificial intelligence will extend to devices that can autonomously learn and evolve, enhance and create new experiences and offer solutions that one day can match human intelligence. AI supercomputers are also being built to solve complex humankind problems and find solutions to issues like incurable forms of cancer, which will not only make today’s technology obsolete but will open the doors for an even bigger growth of the AI sector as a whole.

Over the next two years, the global artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow to $554 billion in total revenue by 2024, according to market research firm IDC.

And with virtually every major industry being disrupted by this technology, the opportunities for investors are becoming hard to ignore. With that in mind, here are the best artificial intelligence stocks to keep track of in 2022.


## 10 Best AI Stocks In 2022

 

### 1. [Nvidia Corp.](https://www.nvidia.com) (NVDA)

Graphics chip mammoth NVIDIA Corporation ranks at the top of the best artificial intelligence stocks in 2022. The reason why Nvidia is a well regarded company in the industry comes down to its high-end chips that power advanced artificial intelligence applications, including one of the world’s leading supercomputers, Leonardo, as well as its very own upcoming AI supercomputer Eos.

The company is not only a leader in providing chips with massive processing power, Nvidia is equally a major player in semiconductors that are needed to power a number of key technologies like cloud computing, data centers, AI and machine learning capabilities, gaming and, of course, the metaverse. In all, the chip company serves five primary markets—gaming, data center, professional visualization, automotive, original equipment manufacturer (OEM)

At its annual GTC conference, Nvidia unveiled an [extensive range of AI-focused enterprise products](https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/22/22989182/nvidia-ai-hopper-architecture-h100-gpu-eos-supercomputer) that includes new-generation chips with a processing power of as much as nine times higher than their predecessors. Nvidia's stock hit an all-time high last year as its gaming and data center GPU business fuelled growth throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The end-end chipmaker has also seen a whopping 380% rally over the past three years, although analysts warn that that cycle might be cooling off. Over the past year, Nvidia's shares have provided a [total return of 73.1%](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=NASDAQ%3ANVDA), well above the S&P 500's total return of 13.8%.


### 2. [Alphabet Inc.](https://abc.xyz) (GOOG, GOOGL)


Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet is currently the world’s largest AI company, focusing on a wide range of global online services. The California-based tech giant owns operations including Youtube, Google Cloud, Google Play, Android, Google Pay, Waze, among many others.

More importantly, Alphabet is a leading name in the artificial intelligence sphere, developing a diverse range of AI services and products, including a self-driving company named Waymo, AI voice interface Google Duplex and being the parent company of DeepMind Technologies, which is dedicated to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence technology (AGI).

In addition, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated into many facets of Alphabet’s business practices, from content promotion to ad pricing, and much more. 

Alphabet has managed to become one of the world's largest technology conglomerates, with a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion as of March, 2022. The company also posted a net income of $76 billion on revenue of $257.6 billion for 2021.

### 3. [Amazon.com Inc.](https://www.amazon.com) (AMZN)

Another key player in AI is Amazon. The e-commerce giant makes extensive use of artificial intelligence across its company wide operations.This includes the algorithms it runs for e-commerce searches, target advertising and Amazon Web Services (AWS). And there is, of course, the widely popular virtual assistant Alexa which is used by 40 million people in the US alone. Amazon might be better known for its e-commerce services but it’s quickly becoming a name to be reckoned with when it comes to AI. Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

There are many other projects in which Amazon uses AI, including [Amazon’s Prime Air](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-Air/b?ie=UTF8&node=8037720011) delivery drones and fully automated grocery stores - [Amazon Fresh](https://www.amazon.com/fmc/m/30003175?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo).

Earlier, Amazon’s founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos had said about the technology: ”Much of what we do with machine learning happens beneath the surface. Machine learning drives our algorithms for demand forecasting, product search ranking, product and deals recommendations, merchandising placements, fraud detection, translations, and much more. Though less visible, much of the impact of machine learning will be of this type — quietly but meaningfully improving core operations.”

While Amazon’s Q1 2022 revenue report was below estimates (it was the first quarter that the tech giant has posted a net loss in at least four years), Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue did exceed consensus estimates, seeing a 37% year-over-year (YOY) increase.

### 4. [Meta Platforms Inc](https://about.facebook.com/meta/). (FB)

Meta (formerly Facebook) has started to put increased focus and investment on its augmented- and virtual-reality products and services as part of its plan to build the metaverse. As part of this push, Meta has also doubled down on AI technology, building the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which was hailed by the tech giant as the world fastest AI Supercomputer. Meta uses artificial intelligence to power things such as advertising algorithms and news feeds.

As of 2021, the company breaks down its financial results into two segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes the Meta’s main social media platform, Facebook, as well as Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other services, and Reality Labs (RL), which includes the company’s augmented- and virtual-reality products and services like the Quest VR headsets. Meta also recently announced it would be opening its first physical store - the [Meta Store](https://about.fb.com/news/2022/04/meta-retail-store/).

Meta reported a year-over-year growth of just 7% in the first quarter of 2022, the slowest pace of expansion in Facebook’s 10-year history as a public company.

In its most recent earnings report last week, Meta forecast a potential year-over-year revenue drop in the second quarter. Despite the recent tumble, analysts still put Meta at the top of AI stocks to keep an eye out for in 2022.

### 5. [International Business Machines Corp.](https://www.ibm.com) (IBM)

IBM has decades-long worth of research and development of AI applications, most notably its AI supercomputer Watson, which is currently a major competitor alongside other AI companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon. As one of the best tech stocks to watch this year, the cloud and software firm works with top companies spanning a number of industries, from finance to healthcare law and academia, to improve software applications and data analytics. IBM also offers consulting and hybrid cloud infrastructure to clients. In recent years, the company has placed great focus on becoming a leading provider in the hybrid cloud segment and AI that can be beneficial for companies looking to digitally transform their businesses. IBM reported a net income of $5.7 billion at the end of 2021, up 2.7% compared to the previous year. IBM is an AI stock you really want to keep in your list of potential investments in 2022.

### 6. [Microsoft Corp.](https://www.microsoft.com) (MSFT)

No tech stock market can be complete without mentioning software giant Microsoft Corporation as it's undoubtedly one of the top AI stocks in 2022. Continuing a trend seen in recent years, Microsoft has continued placing significant investment on AI and cloud computing services under the [Azure platform](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/). Microsoft's cloud computing network was built with the objective of training AI models to produce complex AI infrastructures for developers and organizations. The company also runs Context IQ, an AI application targeted at Microsoft employees that helps search, predict and create suggestions. Microsoft's third quarter 2022 financial results saw the company posting a revenue of $49.4 billion and net income of $16.7 billion, beating expectations across the board.

### 7. [Palantir](https://www.palantir.com) (PLTR)

Serial entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s Palantir is a software development and data-mining firm that specializes in leveraging big data and AI to provide insights and analytics for a wide list of clients The company's primary business centers around secure data analytics software and management to the government and private organizations.

Palantir Technologies reported fourth quarter revenue that rose 41% to $1.54 billion at the end of 2021. Ridding the AI boom to the fullest extent, Palantir can be a promising investment when it comes to AI systems and AI data applications.


### 8. [Intel](https://www.intel.com/) (INTC)

Like Nvidia, Intel is a leader in the graphics processing units and CPU industry. The company also develops systems for cloud servers, self-driving cars, and AI technology. In particular, Intel has invested in AI hardware and software, including the Nervana processor, which is a deep learning processor. The chipmaker also has another AI processor dedicated to developing neural networks and visual recognition - Movidius.

Intel beat on the top and bottom lines for the first quarter of 2022, posting $18.35 billion in revenue. For all these reasons, Intel is among the top stocks to buy this year.

### 9. [C3.ai, Inc](https://c3.ai). (AI)
 
C3.ai is an enterprise AI software provider, which develops artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to helpe large organizations optimize and streamline operations. As a leader in the AI industry, C3.ai's recent contracts include a five-year deal with the U.S. Department of Defense worth $500 million. In 2022, the company has announced an expansion of AI-based services that extend to finance, healthcare, agriculture, life sciences, manufacturing, and more. The company's tools have been recognised as some of the best for companies to become more efficient across the cycle of operations, including chain management, energy efficiency, and customer engagement. As a younger company compared to others on this list C3.ai is yet to turn a profit, but given its best-in-class offerings that have been adopted across many industries and the AI solutions it has developed, this is still one of the stocks to consider this year.

### 10. [SentinelOne, Inc.](https://www.sentinelone.com) (S)
 
Last but not least, we are highlighting SentinelOne as the company is a leader in the AI software market. In particular, the firm offers both on-premise and cloud-native cybersecurity to organizations, which puts it ahead of competitors with just one of those offerings like CrowdStrike. By making extensive use of AI, SentinelOne can reduce its dependence on human analysis and active internet connections to activate its solutions, while leaving powerful artificial intelligence algorithms and AI technology more broadly to stay ahead in the market. The approach appears to be paying off as the company reported a 120% jump in revenue to $204.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

## Final Thoughts

Investors should know that investing in artificial intelligence ought to be treated like any other stocks - we suggest you do your own research, assess the fundamentals of each company and make sure you’re investing money you’re comfortable with losing in case of a market downturn (which, hopefully, won’t happen to you). That said, the companies listed above are suggestions and they don’t constitute financial advice on our part.

Best Artificial Intelligence Stocks: 10 AI Companies to Follow In 2022

Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Stocks In 2022

Six years ago, the world was introduced to Pokémon GO - and we’ve been gripped by the AR gaming fever ever since.

Side by side with the VR greats like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx, augmented reality titles are also making waves of their own, with immersive experiences that players can instantly step into with just their smartphones quickly becoming a fan favorite.

As AR technology continues making strides, augmented reality gaming is poised to become an even bigger phenomenon in the mobile gaming industry.

They’re immersive and interactive, but what else makes augmented reality games an awesome playing experience?

Let’s dive right into the top best AR games for Android and iOS users to find out.

## Best 11 Augmented Reality Games In 2022

 

### Pokémon Go ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pok%C3%A9mon-go/id1094591345))

Pokémon Go Best AR Games.jpg

Launched in 2016, Pokémon GO is arguably one of the biggest global gaming sensations, having been downloaded 1 billion times. Yes, you read that right. This augmented reality game is part of the wider Pokémon franchise, which includes video games, movies, anime series, manga, a collectible card game, and much more.

The game is centered on fictional creatures called Pokémon (short for pocket monsters) that players, known as Pokémon Trainers, have to catch and train so that their pets are able to battle other Pokémon for sport.

Unlike the video game version, Pokémon Go makes use of augmented reality technology to anchor gameplay to real-world locations. How does it actually work?

If you’re not yet familiar with the game, Pokémon Go uses your mobile phone’s camera, GPS tracking feature and clock to detect when and where you’re located. It then superimposes fantastical virtual creatures on top of whatever real-life environment you’re surrounded by.

As you move around, different types of Pokémon will keep appearing. Imagine coming across a bug-type Pokémon while going through a park or a sea creature when approaching water. And have we mentioned the ghostly creatures that only come to life at night? Yes, there’s truly a Pokemon for every occasion. Well, actually, there are currently over 730 Pokémon species available.

More than just playing a fantastic game, Pokémon Go is also meant to encourage players to visit world historic landmarks and points of interest, known as ‘Pokestops’.

The app is free to download. However, there is an option to use in-game currency called Poké Coins, to buy Poké Balls and help capture Pokémon).

Given that developer Niantic provides regular updates, even the more experienced players are unlikely to get bored with Pokémon Go, especially since mythical and legendary Pokémon are only released in special events or quests.

This particular app also counts accolades, including being named “Best Mobile Game” by the Game Developers Choice Awards and “Best App of the Year” by TechCrunch.

**Synopsis:**

With Pokémon GO, you'll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO will use real location information to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon.
The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. Now the real world will be the setting!
The Pokémon video game series has always valued open and social experiences, such as connecting with other players to enjoy trading and battling Pokémon. Pokémon GO’s gameplay experience goes beyond what appears on screen, as players explore their neighborhoods, communities, and the world they live in to discover Pokémon alongside friends and other players.


### The Walking Dead: Our World ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextgames.android.ourworld&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-walking-dead-our-world/id1328359160))



The Walking Dead_ Our World.jpg

It’s hard to think of the 2010’s TV show scene without The Walking Dead coming to mind. The AMC’s hit series certainly put the fears of a zombie apocalypse into many of our hearts, and yet we couldn’t get enough of it. And while it came to an end earlier this year, The Walking Dead is far from being a done and dusted experience. Thanks to the AR game based on the show, you’re still able to experience all the horrors of living in a post apocalyptic world where you’ll have to fight off zombies and other infestations in order to survive. 

The Walking Dead: Our World relies on Google Maps and augmented reality technology to enable location-based experiences. That means you’ll be able to fight off the undead in places like your local park or supermarket, using some of the game’s many weapons, including grenades and guns. On top of that, players can summon the help of some of the show’s popular characters like Rick, Michonne and Daryl. 

According to developer Next Games, “The fans love how the show encourages you to ask, ‘What would I do in a zombie apocalypse?’, and in this game we aim to let players explore this hypothetical in a way they’ve never experienced before.”

 For all these reasons, The Walking Dead AR experience is one of the best augmented reality games you can try out today.

**Synopsis:**

The zombie apocalypse has begun. The zombies, otherwise known as “walkers”, feed off living human beings and have taken over our neighborhoods. In order to survive, you’ll need your gun and snipers ready to scavenge and hunt whether at your home, your neighborhood, or beyond, with the all-new FREE ROAM feature. With the fall of humanity, making friends and forming a team is the difference between survival and death.

### Jurassic World Alive ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ludia.jw2&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jurassic-world-alive/id1231085864))

Coming at the top of the best AR games in 2022 is another cult classic - Jurassic World Alive. Developed by Montreal-based game studio Ludia, this geolocation game brings awe-inspiring dinosaurs to life with the help of augmented reality technology.

The premise is simple (yet slightly terrifying): planet Earth has been invaded by dinosaurs and you’ve been tasked with capturing some of the 100 types of roaming creatures. Better yet, you’ll also get to design your original hybrid dinosaur using a special DNA system.

And since joining forces is always a good idea, invite friends to help you or battle against other players in real-time.

This augmented reality video game was first released in 2018 ahead of the Jurassic World Alive movie and has remained successful over the years, no doubt thanks to its addictive gameplay.

**Synopsis:** 

Bring dinosaurs to life in Jurassic World Alive! Dinosaurs have returned to rule the Earth, and they’re roaming free in your world. Explore your surrounding area to find your favorite Jurassic World dinosaurs, including new breeds that are more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before! Discover your world and collect epic dinosaur DNA to level up and create hybrids in the lab. Craft the perfect strike team and take them into battle in real-time player-vs-player matches.

### Knightfall AR ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aetn.games.android.history.knightfall.ar))






Knightfall AR.jpg

If you’re a history buff such as myself, Knight AR is the game you need to be playing right now. This augmented reality experience takes you back in time, to the world of the Knights Templar. 

Naturally, there’s plenty of sword fighting, battling and castle-taking to go around. Your task as a brave knight is to defend the city of Acre from an invading army and ensure that Christianity’s most prized relic, the Holy Grail, is protected.

Keep an eye out for Mamluk warriors before they manage to outwit you and breach through the castle’s defenses. Keep up your resistance with slingshots, arrows, fireballs and rocks you can throw at your opponents.

This immersive medieval world has a rather challenging single player mode, but you’ll also have plenty of fun playing against friends and family if you choose to do so with the multiplayer option.

Bottom line: if you're looking for a great strategy game to spend your time, Knightfall AR is the perfect title for you.

Angry Birds AR_ Isle of Pigs.jpg

Who doesn’t remember the Angry Bird frenzy that took over the world a few years back? Well, they’re back. Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs is a twist on the classic Angry Birds game. With the help of augmented reality technology, users can witness the game unfolding in real time, right in front of them, in a first person 3D perspective. 

Players of the original version might recognize the gameplay: your goal is to use the Angry Birds slingshots, shooting birds at the piggy-constructed towers that exist in the player’s own environment. Make sure to take out all of the pigs that are hidden behind the 3D virtual structures. It’s truly hard to get bored with Angry Birds AR as there are lots of levels to get through, each with a completely new setting. 

But don’t get fooled by how easy this AR game might seem at times. After all, you’ll need to get three starts to truly conquer Angry Birds AR - and that won’t be an easy feat.

### Five Nights at Freddy's AR ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.illumix.fnafar&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/five-nights-at-freddys-ar/id1473886685))
