A lot of kids got oculus quests for christmas/birthday but I suspect many collect dust. Some sort of daily or weekly active user stats for teens using VR would probably be a better indicator.

From the same line:

"Weekly usage of VR devices moved to 14% from 17% last Spring;"

Ah yeah. So then in the neighborhood of 40-50% collect dust. Not terrible, not great (for VR companies).

I own a vr device that collects dust.

If Google Cardboard counts, then I do too. :)

Yes. The Quest2 did really well last Christmas. My kids use it daily. Several of their friends have them too.

> Is VR really getting that popular?

I hear VRChat got really popular during the pandemic among teens, but I also find these numbers very surprising.

A recent NYT article mentions that Horizons is awash in teens and pre-teens.
