NexTech AR Solutions (the "Company" or "NexTech") (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29) NexTech AR Solutions, the industry leader in augmented reality, is pleased to announce that it's preparing to launch a Virtual Reality (VR) division called VRitize.
The new VRitize division will help the company achieve its projected revenue goal of $20 million in 2020 by working side by side with the ARitize division utilizing many of the same 3D assets created for AR, only now in a fully immersive new and exciting VR experience for in store retail.
V-commerce has been coined as a way to create virtual stores where a customer could choose and buy products virtually in 3D. VR in retail is predicted to reduce marketing costs, reduce product returns and offer efficient analytics and data which is very similar to the AR value proposition for E-commerce. With ARitize and now VRitize NexTech has positioned itself at the intersection and transformation of the entire $3.7 trillion dollar (Statista) retail ecosystem with the industries first state of the art one-stop E-commerce, V-commerce AR/VR solution.
Evan Gappelberg CEO of NexTech commented "New AR/VR technologies are starting to transform the multi-trillion dollar retail industry, just like Wamnamaker changed the game when he opened the first department store in 1876, then Sears with its massive catalog, next came the internet and Amazon which revolutionized retail with e-commerce. Now we are entering a 4th transformational wave where AR/VR and 3D content creation are becoming essential to merchandising products both online and in brick and mortar stores. NexTech sits right at the forefront of this massive opportunity and tidal wave of innovation which is going to completely change the way we shop over the next few years."
Having Virtual Reality (VR) capabilities is part of the company's omni-channel platform approach which includes: AR for e-commerce, AR in Chat, its ARitize App and AR University for education and training. The new VRitize platform will include an app for both iOS and Android and will work on most, if not all VR headsets including Facebook's Oculus and will continue to leverage all current 3D asset creation technology as well as its soon to be launched 3D ad network, opening up a major new revenue channel in 2020 and beyond. The VRitize platform will be able to utilize the 3D/AR assets the company has already created as well as new assets across both its ARitize platform as well as on its VRitize platform creating an industry first one-stop-shop for AR/VR.
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech AR comments "By adding VR to our product mix we are positioning NexTech as the industry leader set to dominate both the AR and VR industry for retail". He continues, "We are super excited to be able to leverage our growing 3D/AR library of assets and technical capabilities into Virtual Reality which compliments our AR technology stack and represents another multi-billion dollar vertical for NexTech."
A recent Goldman Sachs research report predicts the VR/AR industry, which introduces users to virtual realities and brings digital information to the physical world, may soon become an $80 billion market by 2025. Since virtual reality is still a new and developing space, analysts say the forecasted $80 billion is likely to waver according to actual adoption rates among enterprise and consumer users. If VR/AR sees rapid adoption, then the market may hit a whopping $182 billion.

I couldn't sell my 500 shares 6 months ago for a good price. Now I'll be keeping them for a while and see where it leads.
