Extended Reality or “XR” is the term that is being used today to describe any type of visual data or virtual animation that is added to a person’s real-time view using either a tablet device or a more advanced type of head worn display. This technology is extremely valuable in that it provides relevant information directly into the user’s field of view, allowing them to access and interact with it quickly and easily.
