Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality for Real-Time Remote Collaboration
Virtual reality and augmented reality enable real-time remote collaboration experiences for businesses. Businesses use these technologies to offer location-based informational services. Additionally, QR codes give users access to information about the products and services that a business offers.
