XR market
Extended reality (XR) is an encapsulating term for all immersive technologies, including the AR/VR market as well as mixed reality (MR). VR creates an artificial environment, whereas AR simply makes use of the existing environment by overlaying added information on top of it. MR is recognized as the merging of physical and digital worlds where objects co-exist and interact in real time within new environments. MR is sometimes referred to as hybrid reality or holographic computing.
XR devices
Typically, XR technologies are supported using AR and VR headsets, with firms such as Microsoft, Sony, Valve, and Facebook-owned Oculus developing such devices. AR headset sales grew during 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic causing a surge in demand for devices that could support remote collaboration and telemedicine services. VR headset sales will continue to record robust growth figures at times that coincide with the launch of a new device as consumers race to get their hands on the latest technology.
