XR Market is Growing Yearly

The AR and VR devices, known as the XR, grew a lot over the past and part of it was due to Meta's Quest 2 device's sale in 2021. The industry's market alone grows a hundred percent in the year-to-year observations of the IDC. Other competitors in the market contribute to the cause, including Pico, PlayStation, HTC, and more. 

VR for the Metaverse? 

Virtual reality's introduction came to a lot earlier, and the world transitions to the new media now, and it is the digital space where people can have massive controls on their environment and their careers. VR headsets are the first entry point to the virtual world, and some of Meta's offers aim to integrate the public to the different sensations it brings, especially the haptic glove. 

Meta is known for its massive ventures for the metaverse, particularly with the Horizon Worlds experience that transports gamers to a space they can start independently. The company already integrates a lot of its products to the metaverse, and the company focuses on the arrival of the service to their offers. 

Oculus plays a massive role in this integration, with it being Meta's center for the virtual world. 

The top sales for VR are a massive milestone for the Meta Quest 2, and it only shows that its growth is due to the world welcoming the new experience and integration. The XR market's growth gives hope to those who want to start a new life in the virtual world, and it opens up the possibility of their control in their lives.
