# Reflections on the Limited Pervasiveness of Augmented Reality in Industrial Sectors
## 3 How to Facilitate the Adoption of AR in Industries  
Once the possible causes have been identified, it is equally important to try to suggest future measures to adopt for a better deployment of AR in industrial domains. It is clear that the first step (i) needs to be made on an organizational level within the company. Working in an environment not ready to get benefit from a new technology can only cause inefficiency \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c c} \hline \hline
**Factor** & **DF 1** & **F-Value** & **\(p\)-Value** \\ \hline Department/Unit not able to handle AR projects & (2, 53) & 0.54 & 0.585 \\ Skill not present in the company to handle AR & (2, 53) & 0.05 & 0.948 \\ projects & (2, 53) & 0.95 & 0.395 \\ IT Infrastructures & (2, 53) & 3.04 & 0.056 \\ Financial Resources & (2, 53) & 1.13 & 0.330 \\ Ergonomics & (2, 53) & 0.74 & 0.482 \\ Corrective Lenses/Glasses & (2, 53) & 0.74 & 0.482 \\ Distraction & (2, 53) & 4.09 & 0.022 \\ Image Recognition Method & (2, 53) & 0.93 & 0.401 \\ Internet Connection & (2, 53) & 0.18 & 0.840 \\ Digitalization Time & (2, 53) & 10.16 & \(<\)=0.001 \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}

To avoid that, after a proper evaluation based on prototype applications and cost analysis for medium- and long-term horizons, companies need to facilitate the creation of units and departments with skilled employees fully dedicated to support and make smooth the introduction of AR. It is important to remember that the introduction phase represents always a fragile moment of a new technology/product [40]. Finally, it is desirable, at least during the introduction phase, to run AR solutions in parallel to old systems, for being ready to backup any possible failures caused by \"infant mortality\" factors, reducing the disturbance on normal operations. Secondly (ii), if the company has prepared the proper playground from an organizational perspective, it is vital to focus on the technological/technical layout to ease an extended use of AR. It can be obtained, for example, by reducing the digitalization time, selecting only the necessary parts/components/systems to overlap on the reality, or utilizing reliable recognition methods for reducing delay time and latency and increasing the responsiveness. AR programmers and developers have a \"consistent addiction\" for adding new features and utilities. It generates several upgrades to install that can result in additional problems for the customers. The possibilities with AR are endless. Therefore, it should not surprise that developers are eager to try them all. However, the average consumer or company is not always looking to push technology boundaries right away; they are keener to get familiar with the AR solutions, in order to reach a proper level of robustness and reliability. This phenomenon could quickly cause people to run back to their previous technologies, where they feel safe, comfortable, and familiar. To become a more mainstream product for the industrial domain, AR developers should focus on the essential aspects of a smart device, focusing on the basic needs of the industries. The last (iii) (but not in terms of relevance) regards the interaction of the users with the technology. It encompasses a wide spectrum of problems and situations. Therefore, it is quite challenging to pinpoint solutions for reducing its impact. Regarding the ergonomics of the device, an analogy can be made with the sunglasses market. The number of features that a product can offer is irrelevant if a pair of AR glasses produces a big discomfort during their daily routine, eventually leading the user to take them off [41]. A similar reflection can be done for users with corrective lenses and glasses. The Next Web [41] indicates that 75% of Americans use glasses or some form of corrective lenses today.
