8. Sub Trend: Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is defined as a real-time augmented view of the environment through
digital data through use of text, sound, graphics, video, and navigation systems that increases
user’s interactivity with the local environment . This extends business and mobility options,
social interactions and experiences which has implications on personal lives, businesses and even
day-to-day activities.

A smart product is
characterized by an intelligent
sensing technology that is
increasingly being integrated with
Internet technologies, thereby
allowing the product to react to and
communicate with the changing
environment around it. This leads
to optimal operations and
improvement in efficiency.

Will Drive Wealth Creation In the Future
New York City, with a GDP of $1.28
trillion, which is the equivalent of being
the 15th largest country in the world, close
in economic scale to South Korea ($1.12
trillion).
Cities like Istanbul in Turkey will account
for more than 22% of country’s GDP

New Avenues for Resources: Circular Economy
The circular economy will promote efficient use of resources, provide greener production, and
support resource optimization, with an opportunity in excess of $1 trillion for the global economy.
Circular economy refers to an industrial economy that, contrary to a traditional linear economy, reclaims used
materials and recycles them as secondary raw materials for new products.
