@HackPerception when you say 5%, in truth, that stat is wrong. The currently ignored market is actually more in the double digits globally.
Globally, IPDs easily range from X - 76mm on a weighted average (so it goes higher).
For example, see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349865719_Interpupillary_distance_measurements_for_the_African_population_of_Polokwane_in_Limpopo_province_South_Africa.
Those folks from that study came in at a mean of 67.2 mm, and majority range weighed in at 63mm to 76mm.
If the plan for VR manufacturers includes other races beyond asians and caucasians (predominantly narrow face market), then they need to first make sure they are getting the stats right. A more global mean should be considered when compiling the stats to justify ignoring the wide-face market.
If they realized that what they think is a mere 5% market omission is actually more in the double-digit percent range, this would likely change the priority this issue receives in the board meetings.
