Virtual reality (VR) has been an available and developing technology for many years now, and tech analysts have continually insisted that it’s about to be a “game changer.” But today, years after the first major generations of VR headsets entered the world, VR remains a bit of a novelty . Most households in the United States don’t own a VR headset, and VR content remains (mostly) limited to video games. That said, sales of VR headsets are increasing, and there are a greater number of VR options emerging on the market.
