Blog, June 22, 2020, (“COVID-19 could become the driving factor in making AR more widely available
in both industrial and consumer settings -- So while the news these days is full of consumer-oriented
AR failures, from Magic Leap’s pivot to Bose shutting down its audio AR efforts, the industrial world
is ready to commit. [There is a] disconnect between how the consumer world thinks about AR

industrial environments, AR contributes to employee productivity by helping workers easily exhibit
expertise, and by aggregating data in a format that helps them derive insights.]
