After years of languishing in pipe dreams, virtual reality began to look like, well, a reality, just last year. We already reported on the future of VR earlier this month, and now a new study predicts that VR will reach 10.6 million consumers by 2016. Facebook’s acquisition of Oculus Rift might have received the bulk of attention, but 18 other VR-focused companies received a combined $590 million in investments during 2014. At the moment, gaming makes up 76% of available VR content and Sony, Google, Apple, and Microsoft are all trying to get in on the action. (alistdaily)
