The VR/AR headset sales will surge to 68.9 million units in 2022, an annual growth rate of 52.5 percent, said International Data Corp, a US-based IT research firm.
HTC, one of the three major VR device vendors globally, aims to expand VR applications in art, fashion and film, Shanghai Daily learned.
