Companies like Pico, HP, Valve, and HTC are already performing very well in this sector. Will they succeed?

In the end, I still believe in the old predictions of Unity CEO John Riccitiello: Look at this graph shown by Mr. Riccitiello in 2017: the purple line is the one of the analysts, while the white one is the one forecasted by him.

Last year we had nReal showing us that AR can be trendy, and HTC making us dream with the Vive Cosmos. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised. We’ll wait.

As always in January I like to play the speculation game and make my personal predictions for augmented and virtual reality for the new year (2022, in this case). This is still the situation in this first part of 2022. I think that in a good part of 2022 we will just see the VR market growing because of the huge growth of the Quest 2.
