Telecommunications relies on vast networks, distributed field teams and technically demanding service operations. Augmented reality is becoming increasingly relevant because it can help technicians access guidance on site, support remote expertise and make complex infrastructure easier to work with. IDC’s case study on distributed field service workers highlights AR’s relevance to first-time resolution, repair times and technician support, while broader 2025 field-service reporting continues to position AR as a practical tool for training and on-site productivity.

Virtual reality is becoming increasingly valuable because it allows buyers, tenants, investors and stakeholders to step inside a property or development before visiting in person, or even before it has been built. Recent academic work on digital transformation in real estate identifies VR as a growing tool for property visualisation, remote collaboration and marketing, while Matterport continues to position immersive property experiences and digital twins as a practical way to improve engagement and presentation.

Publishing is changing as readers increasingly expect richer, more interactive content. Augmented reality is becoming part of that shift by allowing printed and digital publications to deliver layered experiences through 3D models, animations, data visualisation and guided interaction. Cambridge University Press announced its partnership with Ludenso to expand access to AR textbooks, while publishers such as Karger now use AR to help readers visualise complex research data more clearly.
