Let’s explore some of the current and evolving technologies in enterprise headsets and video solutions:

1. Digital Reality Headsets (VR, AR, MR):

   • The market for digital reality headgear is heating up as immersive technologies gain ground in the enterprise and education. In 2021, unit sales of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) headsets will double over 2019 levels, along with sales of related software and services¹.
   • These wearable headsets collectively known as XR (digital reality) are used for simulating environments, training workers, and enhancing learning experiences. They offer benefits such as lower cost, greater safety, and better learning retention.
   • Post-pandemic, higher growth is expected for XR, with the industry predicted to reach a total of US$73 billion in 2024, driven by enterprise and educational use¹.

2. Video Conferencing Solutions:

   • Over the last 20 years, video conferencing technology has transformed significantly. Today’s solutions are highly integrated with other communication tools, such as email, calendars, chat, and document sharing.
   • Video conferencing has become a cornerstone of the modern digital workplace, allowing real-time file sharing, idea exchange, and seamless collaboration².

3. Enterprise Applications of XR:

   • While consumer sales of XR headsets are significant, organizational purchases are narrowing the gap. Enterprise applications such as training and industrial maintenance are predicted to generate substantial revenue.
   • Sales of XR for use in public infrastructure maintenance, industrial maintenance, and logistics and package delivery management are expected to more than double every year from 2019 to 2024¹.

In summary, digital reality headsets and video conferencing solutions are shaping the future of enterprise communication and collaboration. Whether it’s immersive training experiences or seamless virtual meetings, these technologies enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
