DIGITIMES Research observes that since the end of last year, Facebook and HTC, the leading manufacturers of virtual reality (VR) headsets, have released stand-alone VR products Oculus Go and VIVE Focus combined with a display, processor, and sensors. Product contending chapter. This year (2018), Xiaomi also launched Mi VR Standalone in conjunction with Facebook to seize the mainland market, Lenovo also launched a stand-alone VR headset Mirage Solo, a VR headset device from cable to wireless, a market Mainstream. DIGITIMES Research pointed out that under the wave of independent VR products, the biggest beneficiary is the processor supplier Qualcomm. Qualcomm doesn't like Microsoft bears the burden of lifting PC shipments, and there is no Samsung. (Samsung) or Google’s market share in mobile phones. Stand-alone VR products represent more devices for Qualcomm to use Qualcomm processors. As a result, Qualcomm has actively launched VR reference designs and has joined many vendors. The camp launched a stand-alone VR product with its processor. Even if wired VR products continue to iteratively update, giving consumers a better VR experience, but spending The pursuit of a wireless experience is a natural thing. As the independent VR products become more sophisticated, there is no need to pair high-end mainframes, and the price is closer to the public. Wired VR/MR products are likely to decline. DIGITIMES Research also pointed out that The VR market is booming in the spring of 2018. The AR market that requires more technical collaboration seems to be deserted recently. See only Intel's introduction of the AR head-mounted device Vaunt. Intel's modification of Google Glass is ridiculous. Disadvantages make Vaunt look like normal eyeglasses. At the same time, in order to reduce sensitivity, Vaunt does not set up camera-enabled lenses. Vaunt displays information from Bluetooth-connected phones. In fact, Vaunt is more like a Head-up display (HUD), which is different from the current image of AR head-mounted devices that should be more functional. DIGITIMES Research believes that the AR head-mounted device type is still in the definition. Before reaching market consensus, AR technology continues to evolve, and the function and style of AR headset devices will continue to be deformed.
