1. PROSPECTS OF AR & VR IN GLOBAL MARKET
Augmented Reality AR & VR Virtual Reality are conquering the areas of
marketing, healthcare, education, advertising, gaming, entertainment and
other sectors.
AR & VR are capable of producing highly immersive content on the digital
platform; they offer innovative way to immerse consumers in an engaging,
interactive personal experience.
Here in this blog we will discuss about the Career Prospects and scope of
AR & VR in India as well as in abroad.
AR combines the physical world with computer-generated virtual elements
whereas VR completely takes over ones vision to give the impression that
he/she is somewhere else.
In both AR & VR cases existing environment is superimposed with
computer-generated graphics; VR headsets like Oculus Quest or HTC Vive
can take you to 360 degree virtual world whereas AR device Microsoft
HoloLens is like smart glasses which let you see 3Dimensional real world
in front of you.
Engrossing AR & VR technology has huge craze in the young generation;
young people want to explore this immersive world more and more in
current scenario.
AR & VR Industry have enough jobs market in India as well as abroad.

2. Different Long-Term and Short-Term Courses are available on AR & VR to
make students efficient and professionally-skilled according to the demand
of the big and small companies.
Whether it is Pokémon Go or any virtual underwater ocean world in the VR
headset both AR & VR are going beyond reality in every aspect.
From healthcare to education sector AR & VR are rocking in the future job
market.
In the last 2020 pandemic year there was good sales record of VR headsets
which people utilised during lockdown period.
Let us find out some of the Career Options in AR & VR in domestic and
international market.
Key Future Pathways Of Augmented and Virtual Reality

Their task is to create consumer friendly AR & VR products which will
make the user satisfied.
Companies like Hewlett Packard, Apple, Vive hires software developers as
VR & AR engineer.

4. AR & VR Maintenance and Support
Machine failure occurs in factories due to machine-age; therefore factories
are employing people with Augmented Reality (AR) background to reduce
machine repair errors and improve their precision maintenance.
So here comes AR maintenance and support person.
The support person requires experience with computer systems
maintenance using Unity and other VR systems.
He/she must be able to use 3D tools like Autodesk Maya, 3DS Max to create
text in 3D if required and must be capable of troubleshooting VR & AR
system.
Design Engineer

5. Design Engineer works with artists and other designers to develop new
visualizations and effects.
Design Engineer must have coding background and he/she must

Company like IKEA is providing satisfying shopping experiences to their
customers by using Augmented Reality; where the customer can, not only
see images of their favourite furniture but can also see whether it can fit in
their living room or not.

6. 3D Artist
