摘要
Extended reality (XR) has the potential to be a game-changer for SMEs. It can enhance competitiveness while supporting sustainable development and labour safety. The outbreak of COVID-19 has further forced businesses to reflect on how technology might spur creativity and how innovation can affect their future survival. XR can facilitate product development, training, marketing and problem-solving. We argue that policy should focus on increasing XR awareness in SMEs. Diffusion of XR is also contingent on R&D teams' ability to exploit cultural assets to allow SMEs to take full advantage of their potential.
