2016 is not the year the masses pick up virtual reality

Mark Zuckerberg (along with many others) believes that virtual reality will change the way we live, work, and communicate in many ways. Zuck may be right about the long term, but the truth is, VR isn’t quite ready for mass-market adoption.

While it’s true that 2016 may be the year VR headsets become more available, that’s not enough for mass adoption lift-off just yet. Sure, earlyadopters will jump on board this year, and while this is an important step for any technology to take, the reality is that early adopters represent only about 10 percent to 15 percent of the market.
