XR is changing how we do business.

The hype cycle is over. Now things are getting interesting. Computer vision and virtual/augmented/mixed reality technologies are the next human communication medium that will unlock $1 trillion in value over the next 5 years. Along with other technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G networks, IoT, and quantum computing, XR will change how businesses train their staff and sell and market their products around the world. Are you ready for the revolution?

From the people designing the next generation of cars to transforming healthcare, XR for Business goes behind the scenes with the leaders who are transforming yesterday’s prototypes into scalable solutions for some of the world’s biggest challenges. Join XR entrepreneur and futurist Alan Smithson twice a week for a glimpse of the future.
