Advanced visualization technologies like VR, AR and MR are impacting business in new and meaningful ways as they move from the closed doors of advanced R&D into mainstream marketing, sales, design, and development. The combination of virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality are rapidly merging into a new domain called XR. XR, or Extended Reality, enables new capabilities in design from digital prototyping to global collaboration to entirely new product/service models. While many ID and UX professionals are aware of these technologies, most are limited in their access, use, and technical ability.
