When should retailers build an internal team versus hiring a development company for AR/VR?

Only build internally if committing to AR/VR as a long-term core competency with 18+ months to recruit, train, and ship version 1.0. For most retailers needing strategic speed, partnering de-risks the project. Consider whether you're building a one-off campaign or a permanent customer experience channel.
