Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
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.

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.

Editor's Notes
- The following databases are hosted by EBSCO HOST and this means they share common search . It also means that more than one database can be searched at a time. They share common search features. Remember you can’t string your terms together as you do in Google must separate terms with AND . All these searches display search results giving the most recent items first. They also include citation help for you.
