Experts forecasted the future of the consumer virtual-reality market at the annual event held as part of Lff.
The virtual reality content market is set to explode in scope and volume in the coming year, a panel of Vr pioneers told Power to the Pixel’s conference yesterday (Oct 14).
Alex Bowker, developer relations lead at Samsung Electronics, said the Vr content market was projected to be worth $8.4bn by 2018 while headset sales were expected to bring in an annual $2.4bn.
“The content grows to be worth two to three times the hardware sales,” said Bowker.
“At the moment it’s all about immersive experiences that you just can’t have but we’re also seeing lots of games, training and educational tools and cinematic works, like Felix and Paul’s Cirque du Soleil, as well as concerts and sporting events – it opens up a lot of experiences.”
