Research from Parks Associates reveals 50 per cent of consumers who try a VR (virtual reality) headset enjoy it and make plans to purchase one, while 15 per cent who try one enjoy the experience and then buy a headset.
The research highlights the importance of personal experience in driving the success of VR headset sales and the need to expand demos beyond industry events such as CES and into retail settings, especially during the holiday shopping season. At last year’s CES, VR headsets and hardware drew attention, but this year, content and apps will be the focus for the technology.
