We’re already witnessing virtual technology make a rapid splash in the corporate workplace. Companies are implementing augmented-reality headsets, providing specific instructions on how to complete a technical task.

In the next ten years, virtual reality services will become immersive. “Augmented reality is the bigger play because humans still get to touch, and still have a better connection with, their immediate real-time physical world,” IEE member, Todd Richmond, comments on the extensive benefits.

In a world full of opportunities, we’re absolutely certain that more advancements are on the brink of invention.
