The company is attempting to address a range of immersive segments, including helping companies to hold virtual events, facilitating holographic performances, and even diving into the virtual try-on space, which has exploded in recent years.

One of the executives helping NexTech AR execute its AR software-as-a-service vision is Paul Duffy, a veteran tech and entertainment executive who began delving into the world of virtual performances way back in 2014 when the technology was still extremely new to even the most dedicated technologists.
