Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), eXtended reality (XR), mixed reality (MR), spatial augmented reality, hybrid reality. That's a lot of new technology and a lot of acronyms for a philosophical concept that has been pondered for millennia: what is reality? An intelligent reality is a technologically enhanced reality that
There will be more than 55 billion IoT devices by 2025 – more than four devices for every person on earth. That means that big data is only getting bigger. All of that high frequency, high velocity data from connecting the physical world to the digital world is available, and
When it comes to forecasting new product launches, executives say that it's a frustrating, almost futile, effort. The reason?
