# Affordable VR Headsets The BOBOVR Augmented Reality Accessory Has an Accessible Price Point By M | Published 2016-05-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-accessory References: [tech.co](http://tech.co/virtual-reality-headset-bobovr-gearbest-2016-05) & [bobovr](http://www.bobovr.com/) The BOBOVR headset is an augmented reality accessory designed to be accessible to a wider marketplace, without compromising on functionality. The device is comparable to higher-end models such as the [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-xr) Gear VR or the [Oculus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5g-xr-neckband) [Rift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-xr-headset) with a much lower price point. The headset opts for a fitted aesthetic, with an added decompression strap that wraps around the side and top of the wearer's head. This is a feature not often seen on other virtual reality accessories, and it provides a more adjusted fit for a moveable viewing experience. The straps include headphones that are then attached to a viewing screen. The device can be used along with a series of apps with access to the platforms from directly inside the headset. While the device is of a high-quality make, the lowered price point makes it accessible for a wide variety of users. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Affordable VR Headsets:** VR companies can leverage BOBOVR's success by releasing their own low-priced VR headsets that appeal to a wider market. - **Fitted VR Headsets:** VR companies can improve user experiences by developing fitted VR headsets with additional features. - **Integrated VR Headset Apps:** VR app developers can innovate by creating apps that are integrated and accessible through VR headsets. ### Who This Affects Most - **Virtual Reality:** Virtual reality companies can capitalize on the growing demand for VR technology by developing new and accessible VR products like the BOBOVR headset. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics manufacturers can explore the potential of developing affordable and innovative VR headsets that cater to a wider marketplace. - **Software Development:** Software developers can create innovative VR apps that cater to the growing trend of integrated and accessible VR platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Comfort-Focused VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-quest-3.md) - [Wearable VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vr-cap.md) - [Compact Featherlight VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigscreen-beyond-headset.md) - [Accessible PCVR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimax-crystal-light.md) - [Custom Virtual Reality Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/developer-strap.md) - [Ultra-Clear VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arpara.md) - [Precision Visuals VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpvr-e4-pc-vr-gaming-headset.md) - [Aftermarket AR Headset Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-vision-pro-head-band.md) - [Lightweight VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-vr-headset.md)
