The only company not much affected by it is HTC, that manufacturers its headsets in Taiwan and not in Mainland China.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the supply chain of headsets has been hurt , so in Q1 2020 there have been fewer sales than in Q4 2019 (and this confirms my impression of the spike in Steam not being due to 1M new headsets) and this trend will continue also in this quarter. Sony reveals finger tracking technology for controllers.

My favorite ones have been: Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed that the next PSVR headset will be called PSVR 2 and will feature 2K x 2K per eye, up to 120 Hz framerate, and 110° FOV. I’ve already started seeing this trend for the M-word. It seems like a great tethered headset for the PS5.

It is also a defensive, move that makes it avoid the loss of its partners, as it has happened with Insomniac Studio that has just been acquired by Sony. From these data, it is clearly readable that 2020 won’t be the “year of VR” , but will be a year in which VR will improve and grow, following the trends of 2019 (enterprise first).

I can’t guarantee that these predictions will come out to be true (I always joke about the fact that I miss many of the predictions about Meta/Oculus), but I think they will be worth reading anyway to understand what can be the trends to look for in this new year. GENERAL TRENDS. I think the metaverse will follow a similar trend.
