The technological changes in the past few years have been earmarked by the rise and development of augmented, mixed, and virtual reality. There have already been many products released over the past decade. This has captured the attention of several different sectors. A new report suggests that this technology is only going to grow over the next 10 years. The study includes market research done on AR, MR, and VR technologies as well as historic data compiled from over 100 companies. The report also offers a forecast up until the year 2030.
Since the release of Google Glass in 2010, consumers have shown a lot of interest in the world of AR, MR, and VR. The report covers a wide range of headsets that have emerged since then and how successful they have been. The other products discussed in the report are devices that can create digital environments that consumers can interact with. Virtual reality products are products that create new 3D worlds that completely replace reality, augmented reality products overlay digital content onto the real world, and mixed reality products add superimposed images that interact spatially with real-world environments.
Within the categories of AR, MR, and VR, three distinct groups can be categorized as follows: PC products that require PC attachments, standalone products that do not require a PC. Smartphone products which use the capabilities of a smartphone to project AR, VR, or MR. All three of these categories are discussed in detail and they are compared to each other. The purpose of this comparison is to give the reader an understanding of the type of product, the history of the product, and how successful the product is said to be by 2030. This way the reader can make an informed business decision.
