Gigaom Releases its Assessment of Enterprise Augmented Reality
Gigaom, a market research firm, has published a new report about Enterprise AR. The report summary on the Gigaom portal provides four key findings:
- Law enforcement, health care, and the military are among the first industries to embrace augmented reality solutions. AR is also making headway in industries such as education and auto-manufacturing.
- Growth in most other enterprise segments will come more slowly.
- Dedicated device cost, an absence of standards, and the lack of an app ecosystem are significant inhibitors to short-term adoption, though all those issues should be substantially addressed in the next several years.
- Deployments won’t be easy: In addition to the cost of hardware and software, businesses must consider the cost of integrating AR solutions with legacy infrastructures to determine efficacy and measure ROI.
