Mixed reality is in its early stages, leaving games to be traditionally reserved for primary use cases. Let’s take a look at some of the recent XR trends.
Enhanced wearables: Study shows a major decrease in the size and weight of XR wearables that makes them easier to use. In addition to that, with a decline in its costs, we can also see an improvement in the processing capacity of the XR driven wearable devices. It will be not only XR but also AI (artificial intelligence) to use passive cameras on headsets to play a bigger role. For the customer, this implies an improved interactive experience.
Interactive learning methods: Interactive classes are on the rise with the education sector embracing the latest technologies. With increased work specialization, which calls for more focused schooling, the talent war is on the rise. The typical training sessions in the classroom were unsuccessful of late, and the need for immersive classroom sessions is increasingly felt.
Better retail deliveries: Through the implementation of XR technology, retail is gradually becoming more personalized. XR is gaining more demand as customers continue to integrate and combine offline with online experiences. Retailers, suppliers, marketing, and advertisement channels work together to provide end-users with an experience that makes them appreciate a product online before a purchase to create greater brand loyalty.
