Do you own a VR headset? I do, and that places me squarely in the minority; according to some handy stats from Zippia, only 15% of the US population uses VR. That’s still more than 50 million people, but for comparison, it’s less than half the number who own a firearm and less than a third of those who own an iPhone.
Still, 50 million is a not-insignificant sum considering the entry price for the average VR device - and those statistics come from a study conducted back in 2020, with projections placing the number closer to 70 million in 2023. Three years prior, in 2017, only 22 million people in the US described themselves as VR users.
