Companies such as Meta (formerly Facebook), Google, and Microsoft have all developed virtual reality technologies. Within the next 10 years, traditional television screens are likely to make way, at least in part, for variations that pair with virtual reality (VR) eye-wear and headsets. Evidence of this is already available in Google’s development of Google Glass as well as Samsung’s foray into wearable accessories that help turn phones into virtual reality machines.
What’s more, all televisions are likely to become smart TVs within the next 10 years. Expect these devices—which allow users to stream videos and music, browse the Internet, and view photos—to be ubiquitous in homes across the world, adding to the power and potential of virtual reality and future programming.
There is a race among technology giants to be the leader in smart TV development, including companies inside and outside the industry. Businesses such as Google, Apple, Netflix, and Amazon are all developing more powerful smart TVs, and the trend is likely to make the technology much more affordable for consumers.
