  • Global VR headset shipments fell 12% YoY in 2024, marking their third consecutive year of declines due to the continued weak consumer demand.
  • Meta continued to dominate the global VR market in 2024, capturing 77% of the shipments.
  • In Q4 2024, the availability of the Meta Quest 3S boosted Meta’s market share to 84%.
  • Shipments of Apple’s Vision Pro declined in Q4 after the initial hype. However, its enterprise sales saw an uptick.
  • The global AR smart glasses market faced challenges in 2024, but we expect that the integration of AR and AI, along with new market entrants, will drive over 30% YoY growth in shipments through 2026.

I'm hoping the google XR OS will make the number of affordable headsets rise and new companies getting in the VR market.

I'm so stupid excited for the Samsung headset they showed off. I use my quest in XR/MR almost every single day and its so close to being really good.

I will absolutely be picking it up, and I'm willing to be a guinea pig for this

I'm not sure between the deckard or the moohan. If i'm able to just do my everyday stuff with the moohan on my face i'll be very happy to drop that money. I really just need virtual desktop and controllers to be 100% satisfied and be able to do all my work and play as i already do. The deckard is more unknown to me in it's capacity of connecting to a PC and doing it well. If it needs steamVR running all the time i won't be happy.

My quest 3 is already plenty good for PCVR so it'll have to be really good and honestly idk if I trust valve to make a really good headset. The index had really good controls but the tracking, screens, and tether were all annoying even when it launched. But the steam deck is incredible so we will see.

Plus I actually use my quest in AR mode probably more than I use it for actually playing VR games so I'm really excited to get a headset and OS built focused around AR.
