This survey report focuses on consumers’ interest in XR devices (in which we include augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR)) and related applications. It explores the demographics of consumers that are interested in XR, why this group is of interest to telecoms operators and how to best cater to their wants and needs.

Topics analysed

  • Which consumer demographics are most interested in XR headsets and associated services and applications and to what degree
  • A discussion on why consumers that are interested in XR are particularly valuable to telecoms operators
  • What the relationship is between gaming and XR to consumers 
  • How telecoms operators might prioritise satisfying the needs of consumers interested in XR devices and applications
