From one day to the next, our world - and thus the way we learn and work - has changed completely. Travel and access restrictions have led to rethinking and thus created the missing element: urgency. Companies can no longer fulfill service contracts, in-person trainings can no longer take place, on-site sales demos and events are canceled. And the solution: remote work and support.
In this presentation, Dirk Schart reflects on 10 years of experience in the AR/VR market to discuss how technology markets are changing as buyers convert from innovation labs to enterprise rollouts and how this transforms the way technology is reshaped to solve greater problems of higher urgency.
