Foreword by Cleanbox Technology
This decade promises acceleration in new, innovative technology in an increasingly inter connected world, and with the challenges that face us today, the need for innovation has never been greater. Cleanbox Technology is proud to sponsor the VRARA UK Ecosystem Report, and to join you as we make history together.
Virtual and Augmented reality open the door to possibilities both conceivable and presently beyond our imagination. As we scan this horizon for what comes next, we see opportunities for integration with many industries, and indeed our very lives, on a massive scale. If we are to seize this opportunity responsibly, we must do so safely.
Education, manufacturing, healthcare, entertainment and complex skill training have all seen early adoption of AR and VR. As the technology advances, this integration will proliferate, becoming as much a part of our day-to-day as cell phones or automobiles. If the potential for this technology is as transformative as we expect, there is an immediate need to create safe deployment strategy from the beginning. The health and safety of the public - as we have so painfully learned this last year - is dependent on a collaborative effort of government, industry and the public, working together to keep each other safe. Now is the time for forward thinking, responsible leadership from the pioneers of this technology.
While the excitement around VR/AR is easy to get caught up in, we encourage you to also take a calculated approach to strategy; incorporating logistical, ethical and safety considerations as we prepare to embark on this journey into the kaleidoscope future of our reality.
