Continuity of business and online schooling have led to double-digit growth in the traditional PC market, as global shipments grew 14.6% year over year in Q3 of 2020, according to analyst firm IDC.
Despite the shortage of skilled professionals and the slow emergency measures that greeted the onslaught of Covid-19, the new generation of medical and healthcare professionals remain steadfast amidst the emerging hurdles and are looking forward on what digital-powered healthcare has to offer.
Both Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) solutions are starting to revolutionize healthcare applications and services, and at the same time, contribute to the fight against Covid-19.
A recent survey conducted by the World Bank (WB) revealed that almost two-thirds of Philippine companies have turned to digital solutions for sales, marketing, and payment methods to adapt to the new normal.
While the pandemic has dented consumer shipments and hindered commercial rollout, this has been mitigated by increased use of drones for public service responses and surveillance by both local and national police forces.
Analyst firm ABI Research said it expects the virtual reality (VR) market to grow in 2020, passing $4.6 billion despite some negative impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic.
