Bring Digital Disruption with Blockchain Powered AR VR Technology

Blockchain and AR/VR technology are emerging technologies that are being adopted by enterprising businesses due to their disruptive benefits.

Blockchain:

Businesses are steadily realizing the benefits of blockchain. They are making significant investments in developing next-gen services platform.  

Decentralization, transparency, and immutability are the three main reasons for its widespread acclaim. It authenticates digital information leading to innovative business applications such as smart contract, crowdfunding, governance, supply chain auditing, prediction market, file storage, IPR protection, and more.

William Lovell, at Blockchain Expo 2019, commented that end users don’t need to understand blockchain. He compared it to consumers that use services that are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), yet they don’t know that AWS exists (for example, Netflix). So consumers don’t need to understand every aspect, but it’s worth appreciating that blockchain gives people a level of control over data which they haven’t had in the past.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality:

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are transforming the way we interact with the world, especially in advertising, retail, training, healthcare, or education. Moreover, the transparent interfaces, ubiquitous access, and adaptive engagement have enticed several enterprises to adopt AR and VR devices for building enterprise applications.

Smartphones coupled with headsets, Oculus Rift, 360-degree cameras are easily accessible means for consumer VR usage. AR and VR are transforming critical business areas such as communication, collaboration, field, and customer experiences.

“AR/VR works as a platform not because of portability or personalization, but because of its increased intuitiveness,” says Steven Kan, Google’s head of AR/VR global strategy.

How can these two work in combination?

Blockchain Powered AR/VR Technology:

Blockchain with AR and VR is drastically changing the way we interact with digital content. It is expected that the combination of blockchain and AR/VR technologies can have a great socio-economic impact. Here are a few things to consider about these technologies -  

• Decentralized storage facilitates faster access to information

• Peer-to-peer connectivity facilitates body tracking of avatars and voice chat in virtual space(s)

• Cost-effective and wider adoption of VR/AR technology

• Provide users more control over data

• Preserves users’ privacy and security

• Enhances dissemination of information and performance

• Represent fungible and non-fungible digital assets with token protocols

• Validate transactions and establish rules in the virtual world using smart contracts
