Microsoft invest heavily in this topic. We expect a lot from Microsoft Mesh, which is a new
collaboration tool that was recently announced by Microsoft.
We see a huge increase in companies using these new technologies.

Trend #3: 5G will become a commodity
Currently, the next generation of 5G mobile communication is being rolled out slowly.
In the Netherlands, we see some initiatives around the bigger cities, but it has not
rolled out on a big scale. It will cost time and money to get this up and running, but
5G will significantly affect all of us. With 5G it is possible to create new types of devices
and systems which currently are not possible to make. Think of scenarios like smarter
cities, safer traffic, more efficient production, and better-equipped employees. A
faster connection opens up a completely new world, and the possibilities are endless.
The combination of AR, VR, and MR together with 5G will revolutionize our daily life.
In the upcoming months, more and more devices with 5G support will be announced,
which hopefully allows the network to be available faster.

Trend #4: WebAR becomes mainstream
WebAR, the new rising star in the immersive ecosystem, will become mainstream in
the coming period. WebAR allows companies to visualize content without the need
to download a separate app. This technology can easily be deployed on websites -
creating a seamless digital and physical world. Due to COVID-19, people would like to
see products in their own space, and WebAR enables this. The combination of faster
internet and “smarter” phones will result in more WebAR initiatives.

What the future looks like
Many experts believe that the AR/VR/MR market will be bigger than $25B by the end
of 2025. Due to this prediction, many companies try to get a piece of the cake. Where
other markets slow down in their growth, like smartphones and tablets, the AR market
outlook is promising. In the past years, AR/VR and MR were predominantly used for
gaming and entertainment. I expect a huge shift from a usage perspective. Because of
this, many different industries will experience the benefits and are expected to grow
rapidly. This, in combination with the release of better and cheaper hardware, will
boost the market.
