Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Harness the power of unstructured data to enhance customer experience
The prevalence of online processes for just about everything a company does, along with the advent of social media have created both challenges and opportunities for companies to manage the customer experience. Customers interact with your organization across multiple channels, and the best clues to those experiences can often be locked in unstructured data, such as in internal comment fields, call center transcripts, and even social media posts/tweets.
Using smart analytics, such as text analysis and sentiment analytics, companies can harness this rich store of unstructured data and combine it with traditional data sources for valuable insights. Leading companies like national clothing retailer Chico’s use that data to understand online and in-store behavior, along with many other insights to improve the many ways their customers experience the Chico’s brands. Join Wilson Raj from SAS and Barb Buettin from Chico’s in an engaging discussion of best practices and real-world examples that show the power of unstructured data in enhancing the customer experience.
