Before 2019, headsets were largely tethered to PCs, and Qualcomm helped to ‘cut the cord’ and enable the next evolution of standalone devices. This began with devices from Lenovo, HTC VIVE, Pico Interactive, and Meta Platforms, so the growth we’ve seen for consumer use cases has been very strong since then.
