OAKLAND, Calif. - s4story -- Smartglasses Roadmap – the 20's, Investor Edition is the most recent analysis from ImmersivEdge Advisors. This in-depth examination of the about-to-explode Smartglasses industry helps investors understand and evaluate the applications, technologies, and companies that will be leading this field.

Among the insights in this analysis:

• Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming useful and common, creating demand for better viewing devices.
• Smartglasses provide Hololens 2 AR capabilities in sleek, stylish eyewear.
• Better displays, long-lasting power supplies, and user-friendly software are key to success.
• Expect 2023 to be the first million-unit year.
• 2030 sees smartglasses revenue (hardware only) at $30.1 billion.
• The COVID-19 pandemic will cost the sector close to $4 billion over the next ten years.

AR viewing devices are currently bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable, or provide very limited functionality. Microsoft's Hololens 2 is the current technology leader in a competitive industry, that this year has seen the struggles of over-hyped Magic Leap, the acquisition of North by Alphabet/Google, and the failure of Daqri. Nonetheless, demand is increasing every day as users find many benefits in AR in industrial applications, healthcare, training, logistics, emergency response, and many personal, consumer applications.

However, currently these applications are restricted by the lack of fully-featured, inconspicuous, wearable viewing devices. Smartglasses will fill that void in both enterprise and consumer markets. In fact, ImmersivEdge sees smartglasses starting to replace smart phones and watches by 2025.
