IDC predicts VR will rocket this year
 

Tarot readers at IDC have shuffled their deck and reached the conclusion that this year will be the year of VR and AR.

Worldwide shipments of virtual reality (VR) hardware will skyrocket in 2016, with total volumes reaching 9.6 million units. This is thanks to the efforts of Samsung, Sony, HTC, and Oculus, who should generate hardware revenues of approximately US$2.3 billion in 2016.

But this will be the year it all begins, according to IDC, as VR will drive nearly all of the hardware volume in 2016. Augmented reality (AR) hardware is forecast to ramp up over the next few years. The combined device markets will see hardware shipments surge past 110 million units in 2020.
