Market Drivers and Main Restraints
Extended Reality or XR is the combination of augmented reality (MR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), as well as other technologies that blend the real and virtual world to give rise to an immersive experience. XR not only connects but also engages customers at a deeper level. The emergence of extended reality has revamped how a person experiences the virtual and physical environments, moving from mere observation to complete immersion.
With the rising integration of XR with the business ecosystem, the former’s applicability across various enterprise verticals is bound to surge in the approaching years. The technology is touted to be a form factor that facilitates all-day use along with a clear ROI because of its manufacturing efficiency. The high convergence of mobile VR headset, AR glasses and smartphone into a single XR wearable is expected to replace every other type of screen, be it smartphones or smart TV screens. Therefore, it makes sense to assume that XR can turn into one of the most disruptive and ubiquitous computing platforms in the world.
Established vendors are in the process of designing intriguing XR experiences, leveraging the potential held by the human experience revolution with the use of artificial Intelligence as well as Internet of Things. The mounting demand for immersive technology has resulted in the high application of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud in systems across businesses and more.
