AR Competition
■ Other main AR developers right now are Microsoft, Meta, Epson, and Magic Leap
■ These companies’ products either have smaller fields of view, need to be tethered, or they have not yet developed or released any physical products
■ Although there are few companies going after enterprise businesses, none have been able to successfully integrate their AR into multiple mainstream industries– This could be done very well because some industries have begun
integrating tablets into their daily work usage within the last 5 years
Other companies are trying to adopt AR technology into products, but they still have issues to overcome before their products are great
A Few Industries Currently Benefitting From the Use of Tablets■ Oil and Natural Gas
– Average age 46-49, retirement age 55. In ~7 years, most senior scientists and engineers may have left the field. (Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission)
– Pipeline monitoring & communication are benefits saving time and money from tablet integration and apps as there are less experienced workers
■ Education– 66% of elementary students, 58% of MS students, and 42% of HS
students use a tablet regularly in the U.S. (2014 Harris Poll for Pearson)
■ Healthcare– Over 50% of U.S. hospitals currently use smartphones or tablets– 69% of clinicians are using a computer AND and tablet or
smartphone to access data (2014 HIMSS Analytics Mobile Devices Study)
