Tech Talk: $30Bn market for virtual, augmented, mixed reality by 2030

Many active-aging organizations are familiar with virtual reality software aimed at older adults with memory problems and those who want to enjoy armchair travel or education. But there are many more applications of this technology, as well as augmented (blend of digital content and real-world experiences) and mixed reality. Indeed, the market for these technologies is exploding and is predicted to reach US$30 billion within a decade. What this means for the industry is that now is the time to become familiar with a wide swath of products that customers will likely be demanding going forward. Set up your infrastructures to handle the technologies, explore what's "out there" and what's coming, and gauge what might work best for your organizations, now and going forward.
