Using XR to Manage and Collaborate Over 2D/3D Data Formats
- XR technology is helping to unify and consolidate 2D and 3D data under software or hardware solutions, and offers immersive avenues for interacting with data sets.
- The value of 2D/3D spatial data assets extends beyond headsets, encompassing a broad range of end devices with significant implications.
- Clients engaged in industrial sectors handle sensitive data that moves between multiple data sets. XR can help to manage and collaborate over these data sets under software or hardware solutions.
- For industries to obtain better results from 3D collaboration tools than 2D collaboration tools, it is crucial to track and measure human behaviour during immersive collaboration through XR technology.
- Adopters must not get carried away by the “wow factor of an XR device” and apply it to an unfit-for-purpose situation. XR technology is still emerging, and hence, interacting with it remains a learning curve.
- The IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee explained the need for a “common agreement around metadata by coding objects” for appropriate use cases and better usage of XR technology.
- XR data types do not only include VR applications but also AR ones as both platforms allow for remote immersive communications and collaboration which consider learning object definitions and data collections.
- XR technology enhances immersive tools for real-time, interactive, persistent, 3D, and synchronous collaboration between industries.
- The XR leaders and innovators combine technologies like AI and blockchain to enhance XR tools further.
- As XR technology expands, its industry and its adopters need to understand common agreements around metadata and data coding to layer different experiences on top of the real world.

Understanding Consumer Cohorts in XR
- The adoption and usage of extended reality (XR) technologies, which encompass virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), is influenced by different consumer cohorts.
- Understanding the characteristics, preferences, and behaviors of these cohorts is crucial for businesses and developers to effectively design, market, and distribute XR experiences.
- There are three critical drivers of change that influence the growth of the XR market: advancements in XR hardware, a growing emphasis on social and collaborative XR experiences, and the increasing diversity and accessibility of XR technologies.
- The XR industry is witnessing the emergence of diverse consumer cohorts, each with their unique preferences, behaviors, and expectations.
- The traditional early adopter, mainstream consumer, and enterprise user archetypes are becoming increasingly nuanced, with emerging sub-segments and blurred boundaries.
- Younger consumers, particularly those in the Gen Z and Millennial age groups, have shown a higher propensity for adopting and engaging with XR technologies.
- Despite the growing popularity and potential of XR technologies, several barriers and challenges remain that hinder the achievement of mass-market adoption.
- The high cost of XR hardware, which can limit accessibility and affordability, is one of the primary barriers to mass-market adoption.
- The integration of 5G and other high-speed connectivity solutions can enable more seamless and immersive XR experiences, reducing latency and enhancing the overall user experience.
- The development of social XR platforms and the integration of features like multi-user experiences, virtual avatars, and shared virtual spaces can foster a sense of community and social connection among XR users.
