Market Definition
Virtual reality can be defined as a technology that creates a simulated environment through computer technology. Virtual reality provides an immersed 3D environment to the user by simulating various senses such as vision, touch, hearing, and even smell. Virtual reality uses devices such as head-mounted displays, projectors, and display walls to generate realistic visuals and sounds to provide a real-world experience in the virtual environment. The person using virtual reality can view the artificial world 360 degrees and even sense the virtual environment with highly advanced gears. This technology is being widely used in various industrial applications, especially for training and research purposes. The defense and aerospace industry uses it for training the army personnel by providing various environmental conditions, this aids in reducing the overall cost of the training. The gaming sector provides virtual reality directly to the users by enhancing their gaming experience; people are getting more accustomed to virtual reality through their experience in the gaming and entertainment industry. Virtual reality has also aided in driving simulators by providing a real-life experience in an artificial environment helping the users to adapt to the driving conditions and know how to react in various situations without actually taking the driving lessons directly on the road.
Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Growing demand for HMD in the gaming and entertainment industry
Head-mounted displays (HMDs) have been high in the gaming and entertainment sector. The gaming industry has had a technological evolution with the emergence of VR and 3D technology. The use of HMDs has helped achieve a fully immersive experience for users and has taken the gaming experience to the next level. The flawless transition conducted with VR HMDs has helped bring a unique and enhanced user experience. HMDs have a high penetration rate in the video gaming sector, and video game users prefer them for enriching experiences and entertainment. HMDs project digital images, enabling a 3D view, which enhances the user experience. Therefore, the growing gaming sector would drive the market for HMDs and, in turn, virtual reality.
- Increasing demand for VR technology due to the COVID-19 pandemic
The world is going through different phases of physical lockdown, and social get-togethers are still not allowed in most countries. Hence, AR and VR technology during COVID-19 are emerging as superheroes by enabling people to feel connected to each other. Augmented reality adds digital elements to the physical world, and Virtual Reality gives an immersive experience to the viewers. VR devices such as Google Cardboard, HTC Vive, or Oculus Rift transport users to experience several real-world and imaginary environments with the help of devices.
Opportunity
- Increased deployment of VR technology in aerospace & defense and architecture & planning sector
The 3D design has enabled significant gains in the aerospace and defense equipment manufacturing processes. This has also positively impacted both performances of the aircraft as well as the manufacturing processes. The advancements in new 3D technologies bring new market opportunities to optimize production time and cost in the aerospace and defense industry. 3D technology has been a continuous trend, specifically in the aerospace industry. Recent developments in virtual reality technology have promised new applications in the aerospace and defense domain, impacting the growth of virtual reality in the aerospace and defense market. 3D visualization abilities incorporated with digital mock-ups of physical objects, virtual assembly lines, tighter integration, and a seamless design process would drive the market shortly.
