Such initiatives are expected to give a new dimension to the VR business and boost the growth of the market.
Restraint: Display latency and energy consumption affect overall performance of VR devices
The prime function of VR-enabled devices is to generate images from a dynamic or a static source. Latency can be defined as any delay that increases the real or perceived response time compared with the required response time. Certain factors, such as an imbalance in data processing speed between the microprocessor and input or output devices, can cause latency in VR applications. Users perceive the quality of the device on the basis of image quality it displays. A delay in the projection degrades the overall quality of VR-enabled devices.
There will be a deviation of location from the exact position if there is an issue in the measurement of the viewpoint. Thus, the VR system requires a minimal latency to maintain the virtual entity at a stable position. The virtual object should not delay over 15 milliseconds while adapting to a new situation as it causes variation in the position of objects.
Energy consumption is another problem in VR applications. Consumers, especially in the gaming sector, require gadgets with long battery life. Sensors and other network interfaces also consume energy. Due to these complications, VR systems cannot be operated for a long duration.
At present, the impact of this restraint is medium; however, it is expected to be low over the next 3–4 years.
Opportunity: Use of VR in aerospace & defense for training and simulation
The use of VR in aerospace & defense would help users, especially for training and simulation purposes. The use of VR would help in experiential training with data-driven applications and in real-time. This helps improve the efficiency of accurate skills transfer and also increases knowledge retention. VR is used to train the ground crew for pre-flight checks and ground crew procedures before the take-off. VR can be used to inspect the airplane before take-off, thereby ensuring more safety.
Challenge: Developing usr-friendly VR systems
VR technology suppliers and developers face the challenge of developing user-friendly VR and tracking systems. A user-friendly virtual environment allows a user to easily navigate and interact with objects in the virtual environment. The VR system is a combination of hardware and software components. VR devices track a user’s movements through different sensors and array them on the virtual display. The development of VR software and virtual content is a challenging task for developers as the virtual content displayed must satisfy the user’s needs. This would ensure easy acceptance and increase the penetration of VR devices among the masses.
Head-mounted displays held largest share of virtual reality market in 2020
Head-Mounted displays constituted major share of the market as of 2020. The other 2 devices include gesture-tracking devices, and projectors and display walls.
