Introduction
Dubai is rapidly positioning itself as a global hub for immersive technologies powered by 5G, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). These technologies are reshaping industries such as retail, real estate, tourism, and education.
The Problem: Traditional Digital Experiences Are Limited
Conventional apps and websites cannot fully replicate real-world experiences. This creates limitations such as:
● Low engagement in digital platforms
