Virtual Reality Headset Market: Overview
Virtual reality (VR) headset is a device used to deliver virtual reality experience for three dimensional (3D) simulations, computer games, and other applications such as movies, play stations, etc. VR headset consists of an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) or Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen, and head motion tracking sensor to provide effective 3D picture. This sensor tracks the head motion and provides 3D image with up to 360 degree field of view as per head movement.
VR headset are increasingly used in the development of training methods, engineering design process, business environments, and audience engagement such as VR gaming, sports, and events. Furthermore, VR headsets are widely used in medical sector to train students for surgery, and other operations. In addition, with improving technology, VR headset with eye tracking, and motion tracking are in development to increase the user virtual reality experience. Oculus VR, LLC introduced a VR headset named “Oculus Touch” to track hand motions. Likewise, Fove, Inc. has introduced eye tracking feature in its new model named “Fove Dlodlo VR”.
Virtual Reality Headset Market: Growth Drivers and Restraints
Virtual reality is an emerging technology and is expected to have high demand in various applications. The rising demand for high quality and effective picture has led to the developments in virtual reality technology.

However, the quality of visual effects delivered by VR headset is a major concern. If VR system is too sluggish to react with head movement, it causes concussion to user. In addition, VR headset are capable of stretching single display across a wide field of view causing magnification defect in display quality. Furthermore, the VR headset devices are expensive and time consuming to develop. All these factors are expected to restrain the growth of VR headset market during forecast period.
The growing smart phone penetration, and developments in 3D technology are expected to provide opportunities for VR headset market. In military sector, the U.K. government incorporated VR headset in its training of trauma medics for battle. Similarly, in healthcare, psychiatrists at University of Louisville are using VR headsets in cognitive behavior therapy to treat patients. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) uses VR to improve the mental health of astronauts for longer term missions. NASA using VR technology is providing virtual space station for interactive behavioral health training and treatment programs.
