Content

The higher the user base of a hardware, the greater the chance that software developers and entertainment companies will create content for it. Since various virtual reality hardware has seen its user base grow considerably, with it getting bigger and bigger each day, you can expect them to devote more resources to creating content.

Porn companies, such as TMW VRnet, Naughty America and VR Bangers, are currently producing a large amount of VR content, and more of them will be following suit. Expect established porn companies like Brazzers to be fully invested in VR moving forward.

Plus, thanks to the successful launch of the Playstation VR and with the Oculus Rift getting the Oculus Touch, you can expect video games makers to create more VR content as well.

The Hardware is Improved

The hardware has finally been developed enough to provide an immersive VR experience right from your living room. The Playstation VR, Google Cardboard, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Samsung Gear VR are the main players so far, but recently patents show that even Nintendo is getting into the field. Their Nintendo Switch, which is scheduled to be released in March 2017 has VR capabilities.

Overall, the wrinkles in the hardware have been smoothed out. The Playstation VR, for example, provides such a refined VR experience that it has even surprised most reviewers. The Oculus Rift, as well, has finally overcome its issues related to unexpected crashes. In 2017, you can expect the hardware to get even cheaper and more affordable.

What to Look For

In 2017, you can expect an explosion in content, whether it's in porn content, interactive sport experiences, or in video games. You can also expect additional hardware and interface developments, such as with Google's newly-announced Daydream VR platform.

Another thing that you can expect are major price drops. Many 4K televisions are now affordably-priced thanks to their growing popularity, and VR hardware is expected to follow suit with comparable price drops in 2017, especially with the growing competition in the VR market.

If you haven't adopted VR technology yet or are just now getting into it, you can expect great things in 2017!
