Virtual Reality becomes practical Virtual Reality (VR) is already big in the world of gaming and has been used in some industries such as house selling, but we predict it will quickly expand further into real world applications in a big way. As VR technology has developed we have seen big improvements in the quality of visuals, lag time, nausea reduction and real time 360° cameras. This enables the application of VR software into areas such as medicine, and we expect this to expand. We also predict this will move into user experience, with VR events becoming possible (i.e. putting on a headset at home and integrating into the crowd at an event). We also predict VR will become part of the expansion of immersive fitness applications (such as Zwift and Peloton). With so much changing in the digital landscape it is imperative to talk to independent professional advisers in this field. At Scrutton Bland we value the importance of financial technology solutions and have created our System Advisory Service to ensure our business clients can stay ahead in this field.
And here are a few general digital predictions as well: Finally, foldable screens! 2019 was the year of failure for foldable screens, but as multiple phone companies plan to release new devices in 2020 we think this will be the year it becomes mainstream. At first glance, a foldable screen may seem like a gimmick, but the tech ultimately means you only need one device where people currently have phones and tablets. A phone that acts as a tablet and a laptop (with keyboard) is the ultimate goal, but this is unlikely to happen in 2020, and we don’t expect to see flexible screens, such as curved or roller screens this year. But it is the tech solutions in 2020 that will enable this area of technology to boom.
