An Andreessen Horowitz investment fund has invested $1 billion in companies that build artificial intelligence smart phones and tablets Androidbased. The investments are meant to drive the adoption of AI in smartphones and tablets, and help these companies compete with traditional players in the market. But what’s the deal with virtual reality (VR) headsets and connected devices? Is this a head-scratcher for businesses looking to hit the ground running with an artificial intelligence smart phone? Let’s explore.
What isVR?
VR is a technology that uses virtual reality glasses to create a 3D world. It’s based on brain computer interfaces, orBCI, a technology that uses computer vision and sensors to create a 3D environment. VR is expected to reach a saturation point in 2020, when consumers will be ready to switch from single-to-site, day-to-day, video conferencing. VR headsets will contain sensors to measure body movement, such as heart rate and breathing, as well as brain activity, to give consumers a more accurate recreation of the live event. Consumers can connect their VR headsets to their computers and mobile devices to create a full-blown digital live broadcast.
VR headsets and connected devices
VR headsets are intended for immersive, 360-degree video conferencing. They use sensors to measure the movement and breathing of the viewer, who sits in a virtual room with the VR headset. Unlike regular television, where the program is each program, each frame of VR video is a frame of live video. This combination of VR and live video makes VR a great match for meetings, meetings rooms, and more.
Is virtual reality making a comeback?
VR is making a return, and it’s doing so in a big way. In the last year, ten new companies have signed deals to fund a remote virtual reality program, including Facebook’s own Oculus, Google’s Cardboard, and Samsung’s Galaxy Gear. These companies are working to bring virtual reality to not just tech enthusiasts, but executives, professionals, and even people who work in business settings. Being able to see and interact with people in real-time makes VR a powerful tool for businesses seeking to reduce costs, generated by both exposure and travel, and provide greater quality of service.
5 ways virtual reality is helping businesses drive adoption of AI smart phones
Demystifying the intricate technology behind VR and AI smart devices will help businesses understand how these technologies are being used. Here are five ways virtual reality is helping businesses drive adoption of AI smart phones: Increased product visibility: VR has become more attractive because of the increased visibility it provides to brands, entrepreneurs, and businesses through the virtual reality platform. Consumers can see brand advertisements, product photos, and live video from the app, as well as receive alerts when there’s a new product release or event happening. More accurate reports: AI and VR are providing more accurate reports to support businesses’ strategic goals. That includes real-time insights on traffic conditions, demand for products, and other critical business metrics. Digital transformation: VR and AI are helping businesses tackle the complex digital transformation issues that have bedeviled businesses for years. For example, big corporations are embracing digital transformation processes, while smaller firms are still exploring how to manage their digital transformation efforts.
Cons of Virtual Reality
Unfortunately, there are many negatives associated with virtual reality, including high costs and limited availability. Fortunately, these costs are largely contained within the technology itself. The biggest issue businesses face with virtual reality is finding a platform that can bring their digital experiences to life. VR’s biggest appeal is that it gives consumers the ability to experience brands, events, and products in a way that they have never seen them before. The platform itself is becoming more realistic as each new version of the technology is released, which will further increase the experience’s realism.
#Conclusion
VR is making a big comeback in the business world, thanks in part to its ability to bring consumers face-to-face with companies and products in a real-time way. The benefits of virtual reality go beyond enhancing brand visibility and brand experience: VR has been shown to improve employee retention and productivity, increase sales, and promote healthy living habits. The best part is that this technology can be used in any room or environment where people want to be able to socialize, learn, and connect with brands.
