Augmented and virtual realities as digital realities will allow: working at a distance; physically handicapped people having professions never thought of before; c-level management managing sites around the world from the office; and saving paper and trees. People will be able to work as in Real Time Multiplayer games. This chapter also refers the importance of IoT to support these technologies based on optical fiber or 5G; the possibility to be used from blue collars with smartphones up to c-level with powerful hardware. The author exposes differences between augmented and virtual realities in professional context, the possibility to use mixed reality with both technologies, and advantages and problems. Examples are given from manufacturing and maintenance industries and for retail business; to make mock-ups and test, to practice activities, to operate and feel real assets and to help on the sale of products.
