'Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality Market - By Technology
(Mobile & Spatial AR, Semi & Fully Immersive VR); By
Sensors & Components (Accelerometer, Data Glove, HMD, ICs); By
Applications (Medical, Military, Gaming), By Geography (2013 -
2018)'
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are
experiencing heavy penetration in the training and infotainment
market due to the wide spectrum of possible application areas.
Virtual reality is the three dimensional interactive world produced
by a computer. The term 'augmented reality' was introduced as a
variation of virtual reality; it is a form of technology used to
enhance a real time object by imposing a virtual image over it.
Augmented reality application was first used for the development of
virtual advertisement on television then it expanded to
applications in gaming and entertainment.
Augmented reality is still in a progressive stage and focuses on
wearable technology like goggles, contact lens and so on which will
be commonly used in the future. Much research and development is
taking place in application areas such as healthcare, education,
military, enterprise and others. The increase of demand in virtual
reality application in the healthcare industry shows a tremendous
growth and will act as a major driver for the market. Market growth
has resulted in an exponential increase in the number of companies
operating in the augmented reality/virtual reality domain. The
companies which provide virtual reality and augmented reality tools
to the developers are reinforcing their position due to the
increase in the competition.
In this report the total market is segmented according to various
technologies, components, application and, geography. The report
includes quantitative data analysis for various technologies used
in virtual reality and augmented reality. The types of virtual
reality used are immersive VR, non immersive VR, projected VR and
CAVE (Chicago automatic virtual environment). The technologies used
in augmented reality are marker based augmented reality and
mark-less based augmented reality. The components used in virtual
reality system are tracker, sensor, auditory interface, haptic
interface, and 2D & 3D simulation software. Tracking system,
sensor and display are the components used in the augmented reality
system. The virtual reality and
augmented reality offers good opportunities in application
areas like healthcare, education, military, enterprise, and so on.
The report includes segmentation and analysis of the market by
types, components and, application which gives an in-depth
understanding of emerging AR and VR market.
In addition to quantitative analysis, the report also includes:
value chain analysis, porter five force analysis of augmented and
virtual reality market, and price trend analysis. Market leaders
