63% In U.S. Say They Are Not Aware Of Virtual Reality

The study from Parks Associates found that more than half (63%) of U.S. households say they are not familiar with or know nothing about VR.

Younger generations appear to be more familiar with virtual reality, with twice as many Millennials saying they are interested in purchasing a VR headset by the end of this year. Within that age range, 12% of males said they intend to purchase a VR headset and 5% of females said the same, according to Parks.
