Yes. A lot of darts are being thrown as to where XR fits on which Hypecycles, but one of the most promising uses to me is as a new enduser engagement layer for BI(g) data. The new UI/UX possibilities of immersive 3D have a low level effect on what/how information can be rendered in meaningful ways. It's still early days in this space, but here is a quick list of some work in progress for anyone interested:
[1] https://flowimmersive.com/
Focused on Data driven story-telling through an inhouse 3D visualization tool. Strong on AR collaboration and responsible for "The Data Guy" popular on TikTok.
[2] https://www.badvr.com/
Industry focused on using XR for specific applications like 5G Radio Coverage heatmap modeling and Smart City interfacing tools.

Use of XR for IT Operations Center applications (NOC/SOC)
