Virtual Reality Fails to Capture Interest of American Teens

Only 4% of American teens who own virtual reality (VR) headsets use them daily, according to a survey by Piper Sandler. While 29% of teens polled owned a VR device, only 7% said they planned to purchase a headset, versus 52% of teens polled who were unsure or uninterested. The survey suggests that VR hardware and software has yet to catch on with the American public despite billions of dollars in investment in the technology from big tech companies and a number of low-cost headsets on the market.
