  1. Newer product features and services can be created through the use of these technologies
  2. Business teams are realising the power of AR/VR
  3. Interfaces are 3D . They are reduce the overall cognitive load for the end user and are much more intuitive to use
  4. Tech giants have launched newer powerful toolkits on AR/VR .
  5. Newer AR/VR glasses are getting lanched. These have powerful hardware , are easy to use .
  6. Mobile phones are now equipped with better cameras and processing power.  Delivering AR through mobile has become easier now.
  7. Increasing developer and  3D modellers community
  8. M&A  and Investments happening in this space

Technology like AR has the potential to create low touch / contactless product experiences.Specifically as we recover in Covid times, these  suite of technologies can enable these experiences.

Taking a practical use case like going to mall and shopping for food products kept on the aisle .  Using the power of mobile + AR , user can just point to the product and get information like country of origin, allergy information, expiry date, price etc by just pointing to the product .   There is no need to physically pick up the product and view all the details .

VR shows a lot of promise in the virtual maintenance trainings and education . But at this stage , the experience sometimes gets bit limited due to the bulky form factor of the HMD ( head mounted device ) .

Overall this tech shows lot of promise and is poised for growth down the line

There is better tooling , SDK
