Tipping Point for XR Headsets?

⊲ Computer Weekly ⊳ According to research from IDC the AR/VR headset market grew 18.1% year-on-year in Q1 2025, signalling a shift towards richer experiences. IDC attributes this resurgence to Meta’s dominance, with emerging brands like Xreal and Viture gaining traction. While overall shipments may dip by 12% this year due to launch delays, a strong 87% rebound is anticipated in 2026, driven by mixed and extended reality. Traditional pure‑VR will likely wane as MR/ER take centre stage.
