  • How Mobile AR Could Drive AR/VR To Over 1B Users And $108B Revenue By 2021

    Tim Merel, Founder at Digi-Capital / Eyetouch Reality, delivers a VR Business session at VR Connects San Francisco 2017.

    Mark Zuckerberg’s “We’re making the camera the first augmented reality platform” kicked off the mobile AR platform war, with Facebook, Apple, Google, Tencent, Snap, Alibaba, Baidu, Samsung, Huawei and more fighting over a mobile AR market that could hit over a billion users and $60 billion revenue globally by 2021. So where our “VR will be big, AR will be bigger and take longer” from 2 years ago has become accepted wisdom, mobile AR could now become the primary driver of a $108 billion combined AR/VR market by 2021 (AR $83 billion, VR $25 billion). If you want a deep dive on why the AR/VR inflection point is now within sight, the winners and losers, and how to take advantage of it all, this is the one for you.
