Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are among the technology sectors in which we observe the highest proportion of developers working on 5G technologies.
This is partly because the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically extended our need for new ways for people to remain connected - augmented and virtual environments can play a significant role in this.
In addition, the high bandwidth and low latency of 5G are helping to shape the future of AR/VR as a tool for real-time interaction at scale and providing new opportunities for improved direct-to-device streaming.
Industrial IoT (IIoT) and consumer electronics (CE) are also within the break-away group of technology sectors that 5G developers are rapidly entering. Involvement in IIoT exhibits the fastest growth among those working in 5G - tied with machine learning/AI - since our survey in Q3 2020. In fact, IIoT has overtaken all other technology sectors as the area where we find most 5G developers.

Υou can contribute to our effort to understand what developers' needs are.
We are running a small, 5 minute survey for 3rd-party Platforms developers and your help would be highly appreciated.
