While virtual reality is taking off in all sorts of exciting ways, augmented reality and mixed reality are no slouch either. In fact growth is expected to be so strong in the coming years, that a Grand View Research report has suggested the industry could be worth as much as $6.86 (?5.6) billion by as soon as 2024.

Grand View sees mixed reality being adopted in all sorts of industries, from medical and entertainment, to automotive and retail. With its ability to show people what things could look like, it?s very useful as a predictive tool, or to explain a procedure, as well as in sales, since it can be used to show off what an item might look like if purchased.
You might assume though that entertainment like games and AR movies would be the biggest growth factor, but that?s not how the Grand View report predicts it. While entertainment will be a major factor in its growth, the biggest industries are expected to be retail and automotive/aerospace.
