Examples of how Augmented Reality is being utilised out in the field range from warehouse picking and sorting, to engineering, manufacturing and maintenance, while VR’s ability to offer the user an immersive experience has allowed retailers and automotive brands to provide customers with tours around virtual shops and car showrooms. This emergent segment has become critical to the development of AR and VR in the workplace and AR and VR are becoming an integral part of how brands reshape themselves in the 21st century to improve their capabilities and competitiveness.
