The Augmented Workforce: How the Metaverse Will Impact Every Dollar You Make

A clear description of the capabilities that Augmented Reality in combination with Artificial Intelligence and 5G cellular technology will bring to the world of business. The description of the current and future state of art is well anchored in the historical and current technology, which demystifies the concepts and enables it to a wider audience.The use cases described are concrete and attainable and the book is structured around relevant business areas which also allows the reader to identify use cases from one business area that could be leveraged in another one.While the explicit details on respective technology like AI, AR, 5G may be described in more detail in other literature (and there are a lot of references), the strength of the book is that it brings these concepts together in a modular manner in a way that is enabled for the senior management tier, clear and high level with a focus on the use cases more than the technology, but still without being dumbed down.

If it can be said that we are living in the Science Fiction age, then this book is your guide to it. If AI, XR, IoT, VR, AR, 5G just looks like a bunch of alphabet soup you need this book. Starts with a great round up of how we got here from the grand attempts at Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence of the late 1900’s and early 2000’s and goes into where we are today. It not only breaks down how these technologies will affect every type of work out there but how they are in many cases changing the nature of work itself. Wraps up by looking at where we are now and projects what the future of our Sci-Fi age will look like. Sprinkled with personal stories from the authors and quotes from industry greats “The Augmented Workforce” is an informative and enjoyable read, that I highly recommend.
