In the future I expect to see a lot more information visualization, data visualization, finding completely new ways to analyze data, symbolically and spatially. We’ve got AR platforms being hosted by Amazon, by Facebook, by Snapchat, where you can develop your own AR lenses. Anybody can do this, not just developers.
