This is the process of analyzing users engagement patterns across social media platforms on a product or a service. From its nature, this is considered one of the most crucial tasks to conduct for your business while doing an audit and reframe your content strategy according to the response given by the users. Technology is again making it easier to do most of the work by using social listening tools, which can help computers identify the meanings behind what users say online which includes slang and emojis both.

It is predicted that AR is expected to excel in recognition than VR. Several brands have already utilized Augmented reality in their marketing and advertising campaigns due to one of the main benefits that AR can give a completely unique personalized experience to the user and provide a greater user engagement and brand awareness.
