What innovation do you think has most transformed the world of VR/AR?
Although highly controversial, it has to be said that the technological advances proposed by Meta and Apple are really driving forward the penetration of the XR in all markets. You only have to look back 5 years to see how far virtual reality (VR) alone has come. Apple has been pushing augmented reality (AR) since 2007 and now offers an immersive product that sets the benchmark. While this breakthrough is not as spectacular as artificial intelligence (AI), it is clear that, little by little, these technologies are becoming known, accepted and assimilated by the public.
The baseline of our 26th edition is “Act For The Future”. In your opinion, how can immersive technologies impact the world of tomorrow?
In a world where everything has to move faster and faster, immersive technologies are essential for speeding up decisions, avoiding mistakes before building a product, understanding the uses of an object before it exists, working better, making better decisions. But also to have fun. In tomorrow’s world, technologies will continue to improve in order to find the right balance between physiological acceptability, usage and social factors.
