Abstract

The emergence of deep learning (DL) and augmented reality (AR) have revolutionized the landscape of communication and media industries.  A detailed connection between AR-based object tracking and digital communication together with user experience remains absent throughout academic research. The research aims to fill this literature gap by performing a systematic literature review (SLR) that studies the confluence of AR object-tracking systems and communication technologies. The main purpose focuses on evaluating how AR elevates user connection alongside perceptual abilities and media interface experiences in light of emerging trends and tracking roadmaps in AR-based applications. The review design incorporates structured SLR methodology which selects studies from main databases through precise search terms. The review performed thematic analysis to extract major themes from previous study findings and gaps. AR object tracking proved to be a major digital communication advancement that improves user interactions on social networks and marketing channels together with brand promo activities. Changes in self-perception together with identity transformation emerge as major psychological results from AR interactions. The study shows why AR technology is crucial for creating immersive responses through interactive communication which will shape future developments of AR solutions in digital media platforms along with marketing and communication strategies.
