According to the Steam hardware survey, Windows Mixed Reality headsets are still used by 50–80,000 people today. As a tech guy, of course, I’m all in for retro compatibility, and I would still love to sometimes attach my Oculus DK2 to my laptop and remember the good old times playing Tuscany.

Meanwhile, few spaces were frothier in 2016 than virtual reality, but most VCs who gambled on VR following Facebook’s Oculus acquisition failed to strike it rich. On the hardware side, the ghost of Magic Leap’s formerly hyped glory still looms large. Niko Bonatsos, General Catalyst.

Facebook said that this growth has been mostly due to the sales of Oculus Quest. Admitting that Oculus Quest is the only responsible for this big growth from last year (just an assumption, I want to be clear), we obtain that the sales of Quest for Q3 account for $81M. Oculus Quest may have an assistant soon.

Maybe you get featured on Road To VR, you get 200 likes on /r/Oculus. When the Oculus Go was released, everyone was excited saying that VR was going to become mainstream thanks to that.

Bob: One of the other sobering statistics that I just read from an article today — and I’m trying to remember… oh, it was a survey from MetLife — noted that’s something like a 15 percent increase of people having to postpone to retirement because of finances.

Started covering those areas when they were very tied to games, especially when the original Oculus Rift was launched. I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and Magic Leap. Or it’s going to take some more time?

When the first consumer version of the Oculus Rift was launched in the spring, it was disappointingly bundled with a Microsoft Xbox controller – and we’ve eagerly been awaiting the native Touch Controllers.
