Market Overview

Augmented Reality (AR) is the amalgamation of a real time environment as observed by the user, with digital information which can range from a minute thing such as numbers, or text notifications, to something much more complex such as a simulation screen. Augmented reality allows the user to have digital information without peeping onto another device. In contrast to virtual reality, which replaces the real time environment with a simulated environment, augmented reality alters one’s perception of the real time environment. Mixed Reality (MR) is the integration of real world with virtual world in order to produce a pristine environment and visuals wherein the physical and digital objects share a co-existence and interaction in real time. The immersive technology encompasses both augmented reality as well as virtual reality. MR lets one see the real world, along with virtual objects and makes it possible to treat those virtual objects as real entities thereby making the illusion harder to break.

The competitive landscape for the Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) devices is shifting towards a more aesthetically pleasing form factor which can be incorporated in the day to day lives of consumers.  These technologies are compatible with devices such as smart glasses, head-up displays, and head mounted displays, among others. The market is rapidly expanding, driven by continuous advancements in technology and innovation. It has been a home to changing market dynamics as the established players and new market entrants from various complementary industries try to capitalize on the gains from this lucrative market.
