For all e-commerce less than 1/3 of the buyers in the USA use smartphones. I would suppose that those that buy with a smartphone have recent good quality hardware.





If you can dual purpose the content (normal and VR) it would broaden the market.
To a certain degree I think it is (<WOW>) content -- you will have non-linear sales growth? What will be the rate of customer attrition after the wow effect is gone?

Nothing wrong with a profitable niche market -- but if it is already on the tubes -- is it really top of mind marketing or really a death spiral in disguise? If the content can be downloaded and played back without a DRM EME key see https://simpl.info/eme/clearkey/ WITH CHROME. As VR is intended for a smartphone this not an issue for Android and Chrome is available for iOs.

Don't make the same mistake twice with the tubes ...


When VR webcams are priced in the $500 or less range I can see some high-end market but only maybe a 50% premium of the buyers' cost.
