Be it education, training, operations, health, culture, tourism, or urban planning we are witnessing a dramatically changing world around us. The augmented and virtual reality in the education market is expected to grow from USD 9.3 billion in 2018 to USD 19.6 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.2% during the forecast period. In the last 5-6 years, VR and AR have been one of the biggest market trends for all kind of popular industries.

Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) technologies enhance the user experience by making it more engaging, interactive, and efficient. Just like computers and smartphones, VR is on the way to becoming the next most significant computing platform. Many businesses have already leveraged this technology, and many others are following their lead. However not many have chosen to invest in the field of training and educating the next generation about the practical applications of these. However, there are a few visionaries who understand the potential in these territories.  They are willing to invest in our future generation and build a strong foundation for the country.

“Virtual reality will transform the way we work, play and live in the 21st century”, says Mr. Jagdish Sinh Tanwar , the Managing Director of Unicorn Information Services, India. On one of his visits to Dubai he was impressed by the way the country passionately invests in educating their youth about these new technologies. Having researched and understood the scope of this opportunity for his home ground, Mr. Tanwar, decided to make these technologies accessible to our youth. He collaborated with Brunosoft, a global software development and information technology outsourcing company with an offshore development center in Dubai. “We see the incalculable possibilities that AR and VR can bring to our country. At Unicorn we want our future generations to prosper and these technologies will definitely improve workforce performance and productivity resulting in reduced downtime and better return on investment.”
