Virtual Reality
During its SDC 2016 event in San Francisco, Samsung’s Executive VP of Media Solutions, John Pleasants, revealed that users of the firm’s Gear VR headset have consumed more than 2 million hours of virtual reality content to date, which translates to over 228 years spent immersed in the VR world.
That’s a pretty astonishing statistic when you consider that the Gear VR was initially released in small batches. It’s only the latest version, which carries a price tag of just $99, that was targeted at the mass market — so the company has done a fantastic job at ensuring there’s a sufficient amount of varied content suitable for all customers.
