A report from investment bank Goldman Sachs predicted that within 10 years, virtual reality hardware will be an $80 billion industry. This "base case"" forecast assumed that adoption will be slow, as compared to that of smartphones and tablets, but, the report noted, "as the technology advances, price points decline, and an entire new marketplace of applications (both business and consumer) hits the market, we believe VR/AR has the potential to spawn a multi-billion dollar industry, and possibly be as game changing as the advent of the PC."
