Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Head-Mounted Displays
Consumer Electronics evolve quickly, with product evolutions taking place over weeks and months rather than years. Augmented and Virtual Reality represents the next revolution in CE, and at the forefront of AR and VR are Head Mounted Displays (HMDs). All HMD segments, including AR smart glasses, Mobile-reliant VR, Tethered VR, and Standalone VR, will see strong growth over the coming years. New business opportunities in manufacturing and content will also be introduced.
