Visual Application Developers will Transform Our World

If you really want an immersive experience, there's nothing better than a 360-degree three-dimensional visual representation of an environment. Innovative forms of visual experiences are going to transform the world as we know it. Can you image that? Soon, you will see.

As a variety of new augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices reach the market, ABI Research predicts that business leaders should be prepared for a plethora of new enterprise applications for enhanced video -- as the focus shifts to the corporate and gaming verticals.

AR usage in enterprise environments is on the rise, with smart glasses for gaming forecast to grow by 82 percent through 2021 -- VR will see similar crossover into enterprise, with an 88 percent CAGR through the same forecast period.

AR/VR Applications Market Development

"The promising use cases for AR in enterprise remain the primary drivers for the technology; though, it is worth noting that the consumer AR market opportunity is growing in presence," said Eric Abbruzzese, senior analyst at ABI Research.

According to the ABI assessment, simplistic AR mobile gaming is setting the stage for more advanced AR gaming experiences. Similarly, the primarily gaming-centric VR market is seeing increased adoption in corporate business usage, within applications such as simulation, training, and visualized content creation.

A combination of new hardware announcements and expanded software content selections in both AR and VR are driving this shift in use case focus. Indeed, the outlook for these visualization applications is very bright.

Outlook for Immersive Application Development

Osterhout Design Group (ODG) demonstrated their new Project Horizon smart glasses display that offers a wide field of view; together with a partnership with OTOY, a consumer content push is coming from one of the leaders in enterprise smart glasses.

In VR, the HTC "Vive for Business" introduction opens up a compelling entry into VR for corporate and enterprise usage. ABI Research analysts believe that these new combinations of hardware and software could lead to a much more fluid relationship between AR and VR technologies.

The individual importance of AR for enterprise, and VR for consumers, cannot be understated. Moreover, with the potential for disruption on display, the limitations for these markets are far less constrictive than was once thought. However, access to skilled visual app developer talent may become a key factor in achieving success.

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner. "The developments in generative AI and the increasing use of a wide range AI-based applications in data c

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is
