US AR and VR Users, 2020-2025 (millions)
Note
AR enables a user to interact with virtual objects and other types of digital information overlaid over the real world. Examples of AR include filters of videos and photos (e.g., Snapchat Lenses); games (e.g., Pokémon Go); shopping (e.g., Ikea Place app, Sephora Virtual Artist); navigation ( e.g., ... via head-up displays); object interactions (e.g., Blippar); 3D product demos and projections via headsets (e.g., enterprise applications); and training via headsets (e.g., HoloAnatomy). VR immerses a user inside a nonfixed 360-degree visual environment. Users interface with different types of multimedia content via connected TVs, desktops/laptops, mobile devices, or headsets. Examples of VR include photos and videos (e.g., Google Earth VR), games (e.g., Horizon Worlds), and virtual simulations ( e.g., product demos and virtual showrooms). Examples of VR headsets include AuraVisor, HP Reverb, HTC Flow, HTC Vive, Meta Quest, and PlayStation VR.More
