VR is a case accessory for the [iPhone 6](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-filter-kit) that comes with a free app in order to take mobile computing and virtual reality experiences to the next level. The project comes from [Digital Agency Cordon Media Inc.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/store-digital-twin) and aims to make virtual reality more accessible for tasks like browsing the web or viewing a video on a mobile device. In developing the [virtual reality phone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vrs-design-origin), the challenge was to create a product for the mass market that rang in at under $100. When not in use, the case can be folded up neatly, just like a pair of glasses. The phone case and headset is even paired with digital rings for your fingers, so that you can take advantage of multi-touch gestures. Now, Pin? VR is crowdfunding on [Indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pinc-vr-step-inside-your-phone), aiming to refine the design, manufacturing and machining before it comes to market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Virtual Reality Smartphone Cases:** The integration of virtual reality technology into smartphone cases creates an opportunity for the development of more portable VR experiences. - **Affordable VR Devices:** The development of affordable VR devices, such as smartphone cases, could broaden the potential consumer base for VR technology. - **Mobile VR Experiences:** The ability to have VR experiences on-the-go through a smartphone case provides opportunities for innovative entertainment and educational applications. ### Where This Applies - **Smartphone Accessories:** The development of VR smartphone cases creates new opportunities for smartphone accessory manufacturers to expand their product lines with innovative, tech-focused options. - **Virtual Reality:** The VR industry can benefit from the development of affordable and accessible VR devices that can be used on-the-go, which presents opportunities for increased consumer adoption in entertainment, education, and more. - **Digital Media Agencies:** The creation of smartphone cases with VR technology presents an innovation opportunity for digital media agencies to develop new, immersive advertising and marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Mixed-Reality Headgear Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-vision.md) - [Custom Virtual Reality Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/developer-strap.md) - [Videography Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90-degree-instinct-case.md) - [Customizable LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-iphone-case.md) - [High-Tech Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-case-30.md) - [Flexible Polymer Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-venture-phone-case.md) - [Sports-Focused VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiodive.md) - [Handheld Smartwatch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elrow-industries-miniphone.md)
