– “VR Ready PCs outsell standard PCs by Q4 2017” there is barely an estimated 20 millions VR-ready PC, as in middle-high end GPU equiped PC out there and they don’t even account for 10% of the PC sold each year.
– “New dev tools/cameras enable UGC VR explosion” New dev what exactly? What UGC exactly? – “VR PGC grows to 10k+ titles” – there’s barelly a thousand VR or compatible VR app now on Steam, 90% being amateur or indie “GC”. It’ll take a while yet before we figure out the equivalent of right-click, left-click, minimize, maximize, and more in VR. There’s a range of interesting approaches to VR interaction design already out there, but so far a dominant methodology hasn’t emerged. While all are important, a “more natural UI” sticks out to me particularly because achieving it doesn’t require that we invent anything new, it simply requires considerate thought about the design of VR interactions to find a modality that really sticks. Predictions aside, Graylin also acknowledges a number of significant “roadblocks” still facing the fledgling VR industry:Īll of these roadblocks can also be seen as opportunities. HTC has already partnered with Chinese hotels to offer in-room Vive setups. Oculus Chief Scientist Predicts the Next 5 Years of VR TechnologyĪs for “VR-ready micro-apartments,” this might sound further off, but it’s not uncommon to have particularly small apartments in China’s most densely populated urban centers, where the idea of a ‘VR addition’ as a selling point isn’t unrealistic for 2018. It’s not unthinkable that someone would aim for 30 continuous days (though it might become one those records that goes from incredible to simply invoking the question of “why?”). Other unofficial records have been set at more than four days. The Guinness World Record for longest time spent continuously in a VR headset has already been set at just over one day. As a leading company in VR, and one of the world’s most prominent smartphone manufacturers, HTC is surely in a good position to consider launching their own mobile VR headset.įor some of these predictions, the writing is already on the wall. While these predictions are bold, as China Regional President of Vive, Graylin is arguably in one of the best positions to make such VR forecasts because of his time spent assessing startups in the space and as a key strategist for HTC’s own VR plans one certainly might wonder if his prediction of 50 million mobile VR sales is based on what’s next for the company. While HTC hasn’t launched its own mobile headset, they are manufacturing the Pixel and Pixel XL, the first phones compatible with Google’s Daydream VR platform on Android.
