Whether it\u2019s changes to how we work, how we interact with the world, or how we communicate with one another, the next decade will likely be drastically different to the current one. It&#8217;s this idea that is at the core of this month&#8217;s issue.<\/p>\n<p>In the first of our three exclusive features, we take a look at the role of augmented technology in business, and how transformative the technology has already been. Unlike the much-hyped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itpro.co.uk\/technology\/354456\/virtual-reality-is-dead-long-live-vr\">virtual reality (VR)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itpro.co.uk\/technology\/augmented-reality-ar\/355074\/mixed-reality-how-to-augment-your-it\">augmented reality (AR)<\/a> has proven to be an exceptionally powerful tool for many roles across a business, from front line workers to executives in a boardroom.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, we examine the surge of interest that many &#8216;touchless technology\u2019 companies have enjoyed ever since it became apparent how dangerous the coronavirus truly was.<\/p>\n<p>We also examine a technology described as the most serious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itpro.co.uk\/artificial-intelligence\">AI<\/a> threat we face today \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itpro.co.uk\/search\/deepfake\">deepfakes<\/a>.
