Augmented reality and virtual reality use the user's existing environment and overlays digital or virtual content or information on top of it to provide an immersive digital experience in real-time. Augmented reality applications are created using special 3D programs that allow developers to seamlessly integrate contextual or digital content with the real world. Augmented reality provides interactive experiences through a variety of sensory modalities such as haptic, auditory, visual, somatosensory, and others. The technology has numerous applications in entertainment, training, and education. Manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, among other industries, are increasingly focusing on using this technology for training, maintenance, assistance, and monitoring applications. The controlled collision of the AR/VR and IoT trends is represented by mixed reality.

Mixed reality (MR), also known as hybrid reality, merges the physical and virtual worlds to generate new environments and visualizations in which physical and virtual objects coexist and interact in real time. Mixed reality is a multidisciplinary field that includes computer graphics, signal processing, computer apparition, user interfaces, mobile computing, wearable computing, information visualization, and display and sensor design. Various industries, including automotive, healthcare, and office environments, are increasingly adopting mixed reality concepts.

US AR/VR/MR Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
