Hi

Next year they can expect the first devices marketed for VR.
Oculus Rift https://www.oculus.com/en-us/rift/ will be sold at € 700 but will require PCs with NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 (equivalent or higher). Nvidia presented the program and the brand GeForce GTX VR Ready for recognizing the flight computer and video card ready for the VR.
Sony almost ready its Playstation VR, will cost between 500 and 600 $.
3D graphics (modeling & rendering) will be much demand for VR content.
Indigo also will have to consider the RV.

I remember years ago, Silicon Graphics computers that allowed the RV in Gouroud shading and low number of frames. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealityEngine

Currently not a priority for the coming years but it could be important. Apple will probably also its proposals with hardware up to the virtual reality.
