AR and VR are poised to change the world — as long as innovators can overcome these 3 challenges. -  My job managing  digital disruption  is to evaluate new technologies and to try to figure out when they’re going to make it big, and I’ve come to the conclusion that despite the potential, these new technologies are not yet ready to tackle societal problems on a large scale. Moreover, they never will be, unless they mature in a few ways. Fortunately for VR enthusiasts, it looks as if these changes may well be underway. The business leaders that implement them most effectively, and soonest, will reap massive rewards. As Deloitte Digital Managing Director  Allan Cook and his co-authors explain ,we’re closer to widespread adoption of these technologies than ever before. “The future has arrived,” they say. “The digital reality trend shifts the focus away from technology and firmly toward their development and deployment.” Although we’re not completely there...

Nearly 60 years ago,  Gordon Moore , the co-founder of Intel, coined " Moore's Law ," a prediction that would set the pace for the digital revolution. The law stated that computing abilities, over time, would radically increase in power while decreasing in relative cost, all at an exponential rate. This insight, along with the hard work of many computer scientists and engineers, has fueled the rapid growth of the technology sector. The industry has quickly become a staple component of our modern economy. The five biggest technology companies (Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft) together made up a whopping  37 percent of the S&P 500's total gains  in 2017. Federal investments in the digital sector could  reach up to $95 billion  in the coming year. And, internationally, the public will  spend up to $3.4 trillion  on digital services by 2020. Consumers and enterprises have a lot of potentials to look forward to, as frontier ...
