Join us as we discuss and explore the world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) at our next B2B IT Forum. There are already several real-world enterprise uses of AR/VR that show the beginnings of how this technology will change our working lives. IDC reports the AR/VR market will reach $162 billion in four years, growing over 181% per year. Additionally, Gartner's latest emerging technologies hype cycle plots AR and VR on the “Slope of Enlightenment.” Applications include 360-degree educational video viewing, architectural design, virtual automotive test drives, real estate virtual property tours, and surgical training. But what does the future look like for AR/VR in the enterprise?
Where is AR/VR being adopted in the enterprise and what are the market drivers impacting adoption?
How are innovative businesses taking advantage of AR/VR devices across industries?
What are the security risks?
What problems do these technologies solve and what are the hotspots for enterprise investing?
We will dive into these questions, the AR/VR market, and more at our next B2B IT Forum on December 6, 2016 at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge, MA.
