Greenlight VR released results this week from its survey of 1,300 adults that found the majority of consumers—71 percent of them—feel that VR makes brands seem "forward-thinking and modern." However, there's even better news for brands' bottom lines: 53 percent of respondents said they'd be more likely to purchase from a brand that uses VR than from one that doesn't.
