Abstract

We are in the era of growing and developing technologies, where immersive technology is one among them. Immersive technology is designed using a computer program, also known as interactive technology, which is being used worldwide. It replicates real world in digital form. Immersive technology has a wide range of tools which include Virtual Reality (VR), Augment Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR). These technologies allow the person to feel that they are actually present within the environment. This can be achieved through motion capturing such as body postures and gestures that are used for interacting within the environment. Several attempts are made to use these technologies in businesses such as Manufacturing process and Advertisement Industries to promote new products. Currently, many industries started experimenting with VR, but still hesitate to fully commit. On the other hand, many are interested in the state of being free from tension and anxiety, but do not want to put into financial schemes on the technology’s hardware. The paper pays attention to the challenges involved in using this Interactive technology in commercial activity successfully.
