The world of 5G in enterprises is moving rapidly enabling further sophistication in the Industry 4.0 paradigm . The enterprise AR community is increasingly part of it , but more can be done .
5 FURTHER RESEARCH
Through AREA , the AR ecosystem is developing knowledge about their relationships with emerging technologies . A previous study on the convergence between the IoT and AI , always sponsored by AREA , provoked a lot of discussions within the community as the one on 5G . However , the pace of technological development in those areas is rapid . Therefore , an area of further research discussed was to develop a methodology able to update the AREA members on the evolution of those technologies , on the impact on management and business models and effects on the market . The idea discussed was then to define an Observatory for Emerging Technologies that could also be able to provoke skilling and training initiatives .
The proposal for an Observatory of Emerging Technologies remains valid today . Since the end of |
the project in September 2021 , there has been an acceleration in the discussion on the |
relationship between technologies and sustainability , and enterprises and sustainability . The new |
term “ Industry 5.0 ” is starting to substitute the “ Industry 4.0 ”. As stated by the European |
Commission , “ Industry 5.0 complements the existing " Industry 4.0 " approach by specifically |
putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable , human |
- |
centric |
and resilient Euro |
pean industry |
”. 14 Therefore , which is the role of enterprise AR in |
that ? |

6 ACKNOWLEDGMENT
It is always important to praise who believes in research as an essential tool for decision making . This is the case of Christine Perey and Mark Sage , who together animate and support the hectic community of enterprise AR professionals and companies under the umbrella of AREA . I want to thank Christine and Mark for supporting my research on the convergence of AR with other emerging digital technology frameworks . I also want to thank the AREA members who have provided critical and insightful responses to the research .
