. Evolving growth of sensor usage on HMDs – Increasing use of sensors to capture context • AR – Initially just IMUs, a basic camera, and a microphone, • Now seeing multiple IMUs, cameras, and microphones, along with other additions • VR – Different set of priorities, still a limited use of IMUs, but growing use of cameras, especially for inside-out position tracking

© IDC 8 Essential Advice
. Offer buyers end-to-end solutions with precisely targeted projects that drive discernable benefits that don’t overpromise and underdeliver. . Driving AR into more enterprise companies will require platforms for managing AR and developing compelling content – focus on your ecosystems . AR vendors must accommodate an IT organization’s eventual move from mobile AR to headset-based solutions. For VR, most organizations will not understand the complexities of deploying VR; partners will be critical. . The opportunity is now, evaluate partners on ability to execute now, in addition to a vision for the future. . For VR, technology will drive platforms, but use cases must be demonstrated and ROI established for enterprise opportunities.
