AR/VR- technology enabler for improved learning
Student enrolment rates have gone up considerably, from 216 million to 380 million in 14 years. With increase in earnings of the working population and easier access to study material, the education industry is thriving. Growing internet penetration and possession of smart devices have facilitated e-content and made it accessible across the value chain. The growing popularity of digital textbooks, coupled with modes of smart learning (enabled through Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) techniques), will drive the growth of the education market. However, there are a few challenges and therefore, for effective AR/VR implementation in the education industry, it will be essential to strike a balance between enhancing student experience and investing in other core infrastructure activities.
AI in Publishing and Information Services
Publishing and information services organizations can deliver customer value by curating contextualized content and mining for actionable insights from both structured and unstructured big data. Largely unstructured, big data is spread across emails, PDFs, MS Office files, and images, making it difficult to be described or discovered, let alone be used for actionable insights. AI helps with content curation on various topics where human efforts are simply untenable. AI would assist in research and review, segregating factual data from errors, influencing outcomes, and ultimately, helping publishers deliver a hyper-personalized experience to a wider audience. AI will play an active role in augmenting intelligence in products developed by information service providers. They can cater to educationists, financial customers, clinicians in healthcare, legal experts in legal and regulatory scenarios, and business owners for tax implications.
