Charlotte Rogers of Marketing Week in the UK has reported a raft of VR statistics that are very interesting.
Very nice graphs show:
- Consumer Sentiments on Virtual Reality
- What Experiences Would You Like to Have When Using Virtual Reality?
- What Sorts of Places Would You Like to Get Virtuality Reality Content Related to Your Interests From?
In terms of winning content, the survey points to new, unique experiences as being the most diserable:
“The ability to travel to different cities proves the most popular VR application at 56%, followed by being in the crowd at a concert (52%) and fantasy scenarios, such as flying or walking on water (45%).”
See the original Ipsos MORI media release and raw data.
My take: I just don’t know. Is VR/360 a technology in search of it’s killer app? Or — ? I can’t help but remember the trailer for The Matrix — I think we’ve seen this movie before.
