According to foreign media reports, Amy Singer, vice president of Google’s virtual reality business, recently delivered a speech at the Barcelona World Communication Conference this week, in which he mentioned the current status of Google’s virtual reality business. Currently, there are 10 million Google cardboard shipments and 160 million cardboard application downloads, of which 30 independent cardboard applications each have at least 1 million downloads.
The VR equipment sales king was born! Its shipment reached 10 million
Although Google has always put more focus on Daydream VR, due to the low price of cardboard VR, it has been favored by many businesses. Just last July, Google announced that since its launch in 2014, Google’s shipments of cardboard have reached 5 million. This achievement was also achieved after reducing resources, that is to say, Google Cardboard for more than half a year. VR's share has doubled.
However, from Google's internal absorption of the developer's voice, Google Daydream View VR application download data did not meet their psychological expectations. In all applications, the most popular application is still Google's own YouTube VR, and the number of downloads for this application has reached 100,000 to 500,000. Other applications do not have such good numbers. There are very few downloads that can break thousands of applications.
Downloads of virtual reality applications do not fully reflect the sales of Google Daydream View VR applications, or the overall operation of the Google Daydream View VR platform. However, from downloading the data, it can be found that consumers are not really enthusiastic about Google’s launch of Google Daydream View VR.
The ubiquitous and inexpensive features of virtual reality devices based on smartphones have also enabled them to gain more market share. VR headsets based on computer equipment are not sold well due to price factors, but PS VR is undoubtedly the king among them. HTC Vive sold more than 400,000 units, which is more than Facebook's Oculus Rift.
