Juniper Research Releases Forecast for Smart Glasses in 2020
It is the season for analysts to release their forecasts about Augmented Reality and related technologies. One of the enabling technology segments is smart glasses.
In the new report on Consumer & Enterprise Smart Glasses: Opportunities & Forecasts 2015-2020, Juniper Research is predicting growth in hardware sales across 8 key regions and 12 countries. The forecast also breaks down unit sales and revenues according to whether the use is for Consumer, Enterprise or Healthcare.
The study mentions many companies that are not yet in the industry but could be preparing offerings, such as Amazon, Analog Devices, Apple, Brother and YouTube. AREA members APX Labs, Atheer and Augmate are mentioned in the report, but unfortunately, the summary of the report is unclear on how the analysts classified other hardware such as the DAQRI Smart Helmet and Microsoft Hololens.
