What the numbers say: In 2022, approximately 43% of survey participants in Germany indicated their interest in utilizing VR glasses in the forthcoming years. The most significant shift in perspective occurred from 2019 to 2020, witnessing a 16% surge. The chart represents the proportion of German participants willing to contemplate using VR glasses going forward. Relevance: Last year, Meta Platforms Inc.'s VR headsets returned to German shelves for the first time in more than two years after the company addressed concerns from the nation's antitrust watchdog. Germany's Federal Cartel Office said Meta was allowed to sell the headsets again after the company agreed to let users sign up with a separate account. The company removed its headsets from the German market in 2020 after the country's top court confirmed an allegation that Facebook was abusing its dominant position. |
