VR headsets
VR systems often use VR headsets to generate a simulated experience. Typically, these devices consist of a head-mounted display (HMD), a wraparound headset which does not allow light or images from the real world to interfere with the virtual one. VR headset suppliers include Meta Quest (previously Oculus), Sony, HTC, and Valve, with interest in these vendors often rising in line with the timing of new product releases.
Metaverse
Regarded as the next iteration of the internet, the metaverse is where the physical and digital worlds come together. As an evolution of social technologies, the metaverse allows digital representations of people, avatars, to interact with each other in a variety of settings. Development of the metaverse will require collaboration across companies, creators, and policymakers. In addition to this, continued investment in product innovation and tech talent will also be needed.
