Then I’m happy to share that today we’re going to take a closer look at what VR really is and, in this context, what Oculus is all about. Virtual reality has revolutionized the way we use technology in recent years, taking the concept of Extended Reality to new heights. In this regard, Meta has introduced its latest VR headset, which is said to be improved on several parameters and only requires the installation of an app to get started. Jump to section [Toggle](#) ## What is VR? VR stands for Virtual Reality, and with the help of special VR glasses and accessories, as the name suggests, it’s like stepping into a virtual world. With a pair of VR glasses, you experience a simulated world where everything feels real. This is made possible by the technology that recreates the same 3D depth effect we experience in the real world. Today, VR is used for a wide range of purposes, and I’m sure it will be used even more in the future. For example, we see how pilots and soldiers use virtual reality in defense to simulate real-life events, as well as large companies working with prototypes on a large scale, such as in the automotive industry. Basically, virtual reality can be used for visualizing an extended reality, and in my view, there are no limits to the contexts in which virtual reality can be of great benefit. Already, VR is particularly popular for simulated games, and I imagine the competition in the gaming market will only intensify with the big companies that have already launched their versions of VR headsets and controllers. [VR and AR are both part of the concept of Extended Reality – read more about AR (Augmented Reality) in my post here.](https://www.mickyweis.com/en/augmented-reality/) ## What is Oculus? Oculus, now a part of Meta, is the company behind some of the most popular VR headsets, which Meta has now made a central part of their rebranding strategy. The VR headsets will become an integral part of the so-called “Meta-verse” and will be continuously developed to create the best virtual experience for both users and businesses. Their latest launch, “Meta Quest 2” (since Meta’s name change, all former Oculus headsets are now also Meta), is said to be a game-changer in the VR world. This headset and its accompanying controllers can do it all and only require the Meta Quest app to get started. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of productivity apps as well as games, and you can step into a new world right away. I’ve often mentioned virtual reality as a game-changer in many different aspects of marketing, and Meta has now taken this to new heights. They are focusing on offering apps for visualizing products and prototypes, creative processes, virtual meetings, planning, and more. Therefore, I foresee that virtual reality will continue to be featured in my annual marketing trends posts and become even more relevant in marketing. ![Micky Weis](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2072%2072'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ### Micky Weis Freelance fractional CMO · 17 years in digital marketing · Copenhagen Micky Weis er en af Danmarks mest erfarne digitale marketingeksperter med næsten 17 års erfaring.
