According to GoodFirms Data, more than a third of Gen Z and
Millenials use AR apps regularly now. Around a fifth of them use

substantial chunk of people use AR/VR regularly now;
particularly the younger generations.
I am working on a research article to understand what products
people use and how; how can businesses create meaningful AR/VR
features. Looking for answers to the following questions:
1) Is the AR/VR technology reaching its product-market fit?
2) If so, explain with some examples.
3) If not, what consumer preferences should AR/VR designers keep
in mind to enhance the engagement?

Query:
GoodFirms surveyed 500 people to understand how they use and buy
AR/VR products. I am looking for additional comments on the
following to help contextualize the data:

and more businesses offer augmented reality as part of their CX.
How are businesses using meaningful Augmented Reality features
to engage with customers?
2) Many people seem to be interested in buying VR products too,
but wouldn't for their own reasons. What could be the biggest
challenges for consumers for buying such products? What could be
the possible solutions to it?

Our Thought Leaders in Internet of Things (TLIoT) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders in Cloud
Computing (TLCC) (http://www.sramanamitra.com/big-data) series.
I am looking for companies that have at least $5 million in
annual revenue. In TLIoT, we interview thought leaders in the
realms of the Internet of Things -- whether they are
entrepreneurs building great companies, product/user experience
designers building great products, or executives at large
companies with unique perspectives on how the e-commerce
industry is evolving. We discuss trends, disruptions,
entrepreneurial opportunities, monetization models, challenges,
socio-cultural impact and much more in a seven-part series. We
also try to highlight for our audience gaps in the current value
chain where they may start a venture, from the unique vantage
point that CIOs and CTOs have. This is a wonderful opportunity
to add value to the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the world. This
blog is part of the One Million by One Million global
initiative, whose aim is to help a million entrepreneurs reach
$1 million in annual revenue (http://1mby1m.com). 1M/1M has
syndication relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy,
SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India), Women 2.0, Mashable,
Huffington Post, Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, and several
other sites. Articles we develop through these interviews often
get repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Sramana was also named one of the

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 December
Query:
For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). I was also named as one of the top
10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.
