Semi & Fully immersive technology is expected to register higher CAGR in the virtual reality market during the forecast period
The virtual reality market for semi & fully immersive technology is expected to register higher CAGR during the forecast period which is attributed to the increasing adoption of semi immersive technology in simulation training and virtual walkthroughs, and the increasing demand for fully immersive technology as they deliver high level of engagement which completely transports users into a digital environment to an extent that they lose awareness of their physical surroundings, which is highly preferrable in high-end gaming, medical simulations, virtual tours and architectural designs.
Software segment is expected to have the largest market size during the forecast period
The augmented and virtual reality software is expected to have the largest market size during the forecast period. This is attributed to the emerging projects that are transitioning into large-scale implementations. Major companies like IKEA and Walmart have launched their AR prototypes that aims at enhancing customer shopping experiences which reflects the ongoing experimentation in this sector. On the other hand, VR software plays a crucial role in manufacturing software development kits which is accelerated by mass consumerism. For instance, SDKs that highly support VR technology are REALITY SDK, Virtual Reality Tool Kit (VRTK), PlayStation Virtual Reality (PSVR) dev kit, Oculus SDK, and Google Virtual Reality SDK. Furthermore, VR software also provides cloud-based services that are used to compare captured images with a database, delivering relevant information back to the mobile device, which then handles image processing, including detection, resizing, and generating 3D images.
