News IS MICROSOFT CORPORATION (MSFT) BEST VIRTUAL REALITY STOCK TO BUY NOW? PUBLISHED ON NOVEMBER 13, 2024 AT 7:42 AM BY ZARAH HAMID IN NEWS Share Tweet Email We recently published a list of 10 Best Virtual Reality Stocks To Buy Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stands against other best virtual reality stocks. OVERVIEW OF THE GLOBAL VR MARKET Virtual Reality is a computer-generated simulation that allows users to interact with a three-dimensional environment. The four elements that characterize virtual reality and differentiate it from other technologies such as augmented reality and mixed reality are a 3D-simulated environment, immersion, sensory engagement, and realistic interactivity, as revealed by HP. According to a report by Fortune Business Insights, the global virtual reality market size was valued at $25.11 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow from $32.64 billion in 2024 to $244.84 billion by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 28.6% during the forecast period (2024-2032). Region-wise, North America is expected to dominate the global VR market over the forecast period. Another rapidly growing region is Asia Pacific with growth driven by the rising demand for immersive technologies in emerging economies. China, one of the major distributors of head-mounted VR devices and other hardware, is forecasted to have the highest market share in the region. Simultaneously, Europe is the early adopter of virtual solutions in the automotive industry and will be experiencing significant growth, with Germany and the UK as its leading markets. HOW IS VIRTUAL REALITY TRANSFORMING TODAY’S WORLD? The virtual reality devices used today have their foundation laid on the first head-mounted augmented reality display “The Sword of Damocles” which was introduced by Ivan Sutherland in 1968. While firms such as Sega and Nintendo developed VR gaming systems in the 1980s and 1990s, it was not until the 2010s that high-quality VR headsets boasting powerful graphics and motion-tracking technology came to the market. While gaming has been driving the popularity of VR, the potential of the technology has been realized in a multitude of other industries. The American shipping company UPS committed to millions for the advanced training of its drivers, with the firm’s industry-leading training powered by the use of virtual reality in an industrial training environment. Before drivers operate an actual delivery vehicle, the company’s Driving Simulator provides realistic driving experiences. Virtual reality and augmented reality have also penetrated the healthcare sector as they offer transformative opportunities for medical training, patient care, and therapeutic interventions. The treatment domains in which these technologies are used to treat patients are diverse and include pediatric diagnostics and treatments, pain management, mental health, neurological disorders, surgery planning, intraoperative procedures, telemedicine, as well as post-operative and other rehabilitation therapies. The penetration is evident from the fact that the US FDA has authorized 69 medical devices that incorporate augmented reality and virtual reality. Virtual Reality is also changing the game for the entertainment industry, especially for artists. Fortnite witnessed a record turnout of more than 12 million attendees to its virtual concert featuring the hip-hop superstar Travis Scott in 2020. Therefore, VR applications continue to spread around today’s world. The renowned luxury car manufacturer BMW has materialized virtual reality experiences in the automotive space. The company expanded its revolutionary driving experience with BMW M Mixed Reality which tends to blur the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds through state-of-the-art VR/MR technologies. A development team working together to create the next version of Windows.

Leading companies such as Accenture are using Microsoft Mesh to expand its digital campus, One Accenture Park, to elevate onboarding and train new employees globally while PwC is bringing employees together to strengthen the company culture with immersive wellness experiences, such as guided and self-led tours and orientations. For the FY25 Q1, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) recorded revenue of $65.6 billion, up 16% year-over-year.

THE #1 LITHIUM STOCK TO WATCH GOING INTO 2025 PUBLISHED ON NOVEMBER 12, 2024 AT BY INSIDER MONKEY STAFF A Recent Monumental Shift in the Mining Arena has Shined a Big Spotlight on Lithium! Many eyes are once again locked on the critical mineral since Rio Tinto, the 2nd largest mining company in the world, acquired Arcadium Lithium PLC. The acquisition immediately catapulted Rio Tinto to becoming the world’s 3rd largest lithium producer. Why would a big mining giant like Rio Tinto be interested in acquiring a lithium producer? Because they recognize there is a tremendous need for lithium in the world’s energy transition. Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm said Rio is confident that long-term demand for lithium will be strong. This is the largest mining deal in the world since 2007 and marks a significant milestone to the lithium industry as it depicts a massive shift in sentiment from the big mining companies. As the race to find secure lithium supplies continues, an underfollowed lithium explorer is causing quite the commotion as Wall Street learns about the company’s disruptive lithium land package in Brazil! WHY IS BRAZIL IMPORTANT? In less than two years, Brazil emerged from ZERO exports to the fifth-largest lithium exporter in 2023 with projections of a fivefold production increase in the next five years! To say that Brazil is undergoing a lithium boom is an understatement! Lithium exploration is accelerating in Brazil, in the wake of the relaxing of regulations and growing demand for the mineral that’s crucial to the global transition to electric vehicles. The country has relaxed its lithium export regulations, which has attracted global investment and transformed the country into a major producer of the critical element. Brazil is being noticed for its prolific lithium appeal… In August 2024, Australian lithium giant Pilbara Minerals announced its plans to acquire Latin Resources for approximately A$559.9m ($371.12m) to diversify its operations.
