Mixed Reality (MR) and The Hype cycle

Mixed Reality will perform well because it is the combination of both AR and VR.

Mixed Reality may overtake VR and AR.

It has already created hype among people because merges two different technologies.


What is VR / AR & Mixed Reality (XR)?


Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR), is a technology that blocks users off the physical world and immerses people in a different virtual surrounding. In other words, it tricks and manipulates the user’s mind to believe a 3D computer-generated environment as real.


Augmented Reality

AR (Augmented Reality) is a technology by which 3D graphics are placed on top of images in the real world. It is a blending of the virtual world and the real world.Pokémon Go is a recent example of how this technology works.


Mixed Reality

Mixed reality (MR) is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations, where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time.Rather than overlay images such as Augmented reality it anchors virtual objects to the real world.

VR/AR/MR convergence withArtificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

With the convergence of big data analytics, AI, ML, cloud computing, and blockchain, the financial sector is evolving to offer increasingly customer-centric solutions.

The potential of immersive technologies to offer excellent user experiences by augmenting digital elements onto the real environment or completely generating a virtual space is expanding rapidly.

Goldman Sachs, believes that the VR market will be worth 80 billion dollars by the year 2025.

TD Ameritrade’s Chief Technology Officer, Vijay Sankaran, believed that XR (MR) is an “emerging area” of investment for financial services organizations.

XR (MR) he said, could be utilized in the sector by “people who want to work with their finances in a much more visual way. People who want to interact with their advisors. People who want to visit educational resources.

“Immersive experiences are going to provide much more opportunities and by 2030 be completely game-changing,” he said.

Customer Experience-Centric

Customers will be better educated, and readily available information will drive communication.

Customers would stay with an institution because the experience is better than anywhere else.

These benefits will result from the combination of human and artificial strengths.

As the world becomes more and more connected in the online environment, the role of augmented and virtual reality will increase in the banking industry.
