-
AR, VR, and MR have evolved greatly from sci-fi gadgets, gamer gimmicks, and entertainment devices, even surviving the Pokémon GO craze to be finally recognized as technologies bound to revolutionize the workplace. Currently, Ford, Boeing, Airbus, Coca Cola, Siemens, and hundreds of global companies outside the consumer entertainment industry are busy testing and implementing AR and VR gear in every field of their operational processes, from manufacturing to customer engagement. 

Other large and mid-sized enterprises are expected to follow suit in the next five years. According to the IDC report, the five-year CAGR for AR and VR technologies will reach 78.3% by 2023. The largest investment share (80% by 2022) will come from the commercial sector companies, which are expected to allocate a lesser but still significant portion of funds to digital workplace transformation.

The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com
