MR in the Boardroom


While consumer Virtual Reality (VR) generated significant hype, the practical, high-value use cases for businesses—such as engineering design, remote surgery, and specialized training—are dominated by Mixed Reality (MR) devices (e.g., Apple Vision Pro, Microsoft HoloLens). These MR units command premium prices, and enterprises are proving willing to spend heavily for demonstrable efficiency gains. The strong 'Yes' vote reflects the consensus that the high per-unit cost and volume of enterprise adoption will push MR spending past consumer VR by 2027.
