Description

Worldwide Augmented and Virtual Reality Hardware Forecast, 2023–2027: CY 1Q23

This IDC study provides a forecast for the worldwide augmented and virtual reality hardware market for the 2023–2027 period."2022 saw market retrenchment from forces within and outside," points out Ramon T. Llamas, research director with IDC's Augmented and Virtual Reality team. "A combination of a reliance on older models, higher prices on key models, and continued pent-up demand for new device releases along with sustained economic challenges resulted in a down year for the AR/VR market. 2023 will reverse that trend with several key device launches and experiences as early as the first half of this year and continuing to the end of the year. From there, we expect slow and steady improvement in the years to come."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
