Virtual Reality(VR)/Augmented Reality(AR)

Virtual reality is the term used to describe a  three-dimensional, computer generated  environment which can be explored and  interacted with by a person. That person  becomes part of this virtual world or is  immersed within this environment and whilst  there, is able to manipulate objects or perform  a series of actions.

Whereas Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory.

Market Size

The augmented reality market was valued at USD 4.21 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 60.55 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 40.29%, between 2018 and 2023. The virtual reality market was valued at USD 5.12 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 34.08 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 33.95%, between 2018 and 2023
