Small businesses can start with VR and AR for under $500. Tablets and mobile apps deliver step-by-step training instructions with pass-through AR capabilities, often free or cheap. Expensive headsets aren't necessary to get started.
So if I'm one of those smaller or mid-sized companies who don't have a lot of internal resources, what's the best way for us to get— for them to get started, for them to figure out how to maybe— or where should they start in this area of virtual and augmented reality?

So from a training perspective, even with some of the pass-through AR capabilities, you can get started at the device level pretty inexpensively. There are also applications out there that you can run on tablet and mobile that will allow you to capture step-by-step procedures, and including augmented work instructions and digital work instructions, for really cheaply, or in some cases free.
