Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) market accounted for USD 17,334 Million in 2019, growing at a robust CAGR of 33.2% during forecast period.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are technologies visualize virtual surroundings either by using a device or over a surface/platform. Augmented Reality is the implementation of digital information with the consumer’s environment in real-time. It is an enhanced version of the real physical world using sound, visual elements, or other sensory stimuli. Virtual Reality (VR) is an artificial environment that is designed with software and presented to the consumer in such a way that the consumer accepts it as a real environment. It is a computer-generated three-dimensional (3D) environment, which completely immerses end users in an artificial world without seeing the real-world. Virtual reality is mainly experienced through two sights and sounds. The simplest example of VR is 3D-movies using 3D glasses.
