However, there are many professionals working on the general distribution of VR/AR headsets. Apple has just bought the specialized startup NextVR and could launch its virtual reality headset around 2022. Facebook and Microsoft continue to work actively on VR and AR via the Hololens headset.
In France, Orange is now part of a group of 15 telecom operators supporting Qualcomm's XR Viewers initiative, which aims to market lightweight and affordable headsets that work via cable connection and with a compatible smartphone. About ten manufacturers are already working on these devices, and they should start being marketed in the coming year.
The health crisis is increasing the potential of augmented reality and use cases are multiplying.
Augmented reality has gained popularity student data during the lockdown through the development of an offer by certain sports and cultural institutions. Companies are also developing AR tools to brighten up teleworking days.
