Infographic Shows How Virtual and Augmented Reality Share Enabling Technologies
Despite excellent articles explaining their unique value, many people continue to be confused about the differences between Virtual and Augmented Reality. In this recently released infographic, the author illustrates how Virtual and Augmented Reality share enabling technologies. It is helpful to see the companies that are participating in different segments of the ecosystem. Where there are tight relationships between some of the vendors and/or brands, they are shown as grouped with a dotted line.
The illustration could be improved by separating the Virtual and Augmented Reality development environments and engineering frameworks as well as clarifying the role of businesses identified in the industry-specific segments. Perhaps the next version will also include industry associations, such as the AR for Enterprise Alliance.
