What You Need To Know About Extended Reality

The concept of Extended Reality (XR) conjures up images of virtual computer worlds built as an escape from everything around us.

Considering what 2020 has been like so far, that might seem pretty attractive, but extended reality provides us so much more than just an escape. It can be a teacher, tour guide, trainer or an assistant.

XR is an umbrella term that encompasses both augmented and virtual reality. It’s rapidly moving out of the hands of gamers and into the world at large.

Analysts predict that more than 35% of all businesses will adopt and use some kind of XR technology by the year 2024.

This year in particular, as we’ve had to adopt new technologies to help manage the impact of COVID-19, XR has become increasingly attractive as a way to do more while still maintaining social distancing.
