Η AOC introduced its first head-up display virtualof reality (HMD) in the report gamescom held in Cologne on 18-21 August 2016.
Virtual reality had long been hailed as "the next marvel of technology," but it soon proved incapable of meeting public expectations. However, in 2016, all the signs show that its development and the technology on which it is based are strong enough for the dream to come true. 
In fact, Goldman Sachs said in a report published in January 2016 that virtual reality "has the potential to create a multimillion-dollar industry, and possibly change the world just as computers did in the past."1.
The possibilities of using this technology are as many as those of electronics computers and smartphoness. In addition to its obvious use, ie in the computer game industry (and the military), this technology finds application in the fields of entertainment, live events, education, health, engineering and even retail or market real estate. Do you want to take a look at your new home, hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, from the couch of your old apartment?
Just wear the virtual reality headset and sit back… And as technology evolves, so does its potential.
"For AOC, entering the HMD market is the next natural step ", says Stefan Sommer, Marketing and Business Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa:" As a subsidiary of the world's largest monitor manufacturer, AOC is always at the forefront of developments in the field of monitors, whether they are desktop screens or head screens. I'm sure the new VR headset is just the beginning of a thrilling journey and that AOC customers can expect even more immersive products in the near future."
