While it's still a way off being the next transformative platform, the use of VR is growing, and Facebook is leading the pack, which could set the company up for significant success with the next generation of consumers.

Indeed, amid the COVID-19 lockdowns, Facebook has been struggling to meet demand for new Oculus Quest headsets. That, in part, is due to production line impacts caused by COVID-19, but interest is also beyond what many had expected. Which is why this new update from Facebook-owned Oculus is worthy of note.

This week, Oculus is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Oculus Quest, the company's most successful VR headset to date, and to mark the occasion, Oculus has outlined some key achievements, and announced a range of new features.

First off, Oculus underlines the fact that consumer interest in VR is rising:

"People have spent more than $100M on Quest content, [and]during last months Facebook: Game Developers Showcase,we announced that more than 20 titles have surpassed the $1M revenue mark on Quest alone."

Oculus also notes that more than ten of its top titles have generated over $2M in revenue, while one -SUPERHOT VR- has surpassed 2 million copies sold worldwide.

If you wanted some context on the growth of VR, that's an indicator. Again, it may not seem like the next big thing as yet, but interest in VR is very clearly on the rise.

As it looks to take the platform to the next level, accessibility, and useability considerations are key, and Facebook made a significant advance on this front last year when it announced its new hand-tracking capacity, which enables Oculus users to interact with virtual environments without the need for gloves or controllers.

Now, hand-tracking is being made more generally available within the Oculus developer stream.

"With the next Quest software update starting this week, were moving [hand tracking]out of the Experimental Features section and into general release, and well begin accepting third-party titles that include hand tracking to the Oculus Store on May 28."

This is significant, in that it will mean that not only are VR headsets now becoming more self-contained, without the need for connected PCs, but also easier to use, which will boost their appeal more broadly.

That's particularly relevant for VR games - and also worth noting, Facebook acquired leading VR game developer Sanzaru Games back in February.

But social connectivity remains central to Facebook's mission, and it's also looking at the social media elements of the new VR space. It's working on a new integration with dedicated VR groups on Facebook, in order to facilitate connection with other Oculus users.

"Starting this week, were testing the ability for people to share to Facebook Groups under their Oculus username. This will let people connect with other Oculus users on Facebook to swap stories and share their VR exploits."

In addition to this - and in what may become an increasingly relevant use case, given the rising shift to remote work -Oculus is also working on two new elements to facilitate business collaboration within VR.

Immersedis a tool that enables users to collaborate in the VR space, with multi-screen presentation options, where "colleagues can teleport into the same space to collaborate, and even whiteboard together". Spatial, meanwhile,is a VR/AR collaboration platform, which enables people to work together in VR "as if they were in the same room".

Given the expected shift towards more remote work in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdowns, with the forced action on this front highlighting what's possible, you can imagine that as VR tech evolves, these types of virtual collaboration tools will become increasingly popular. And we're still only in the early stages of VR in this context, with the systems and presentation options set to advance significantly from here.

Really, consumer VR options overall are still in their infancy, and the fact that we're seeing such significant interest and take-up, even with limited VR applications on offer, is a strong indicator of the potential in the medium.

In future, that will lead to a range of new opportunities, both in terms of virtual collaboration, and, even more notably, in marketing and outreach.

This may not be a major consideration for businesses as yet, but it's definitely worth keeping tabs on the evolving VR space, and considering the potential for how it could be used to connect with the next generation.

According to MRF, the MRF board has put processes in place to ensure the continuity, which has been built over the past few months, continues. "There is no disputing that our world is rapidly changing at a level we've never seen before," says Koster.

"The COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown that came into effect has brought with it great concern and uncertainty," adds Koster.

According to MRF, the pilot fieldwork on MAPS began in December 2019 and was completed successfully by mid-February 2020.

After commencing the actual fieldwork in March 2020, it became clear that COVID-19 would make it impossible to continue with face-to-face interviewing, halting the process.

"The MRF and its technical committee, supported by Plus 94 Research, are currently evaluating contingency plans and alternative solutions that will allow us to continue data collection during lockdown and the anticipated subsequent period of restricted mobility and social interaction," says Koster. "The discussions are being guided by governmental regulations, without jeopardising research quality and data integrity."

"Research has always been there to help our customers deal with uncertainty," saysSifiso Falala, CEO of PLUS 94 Research. "COVID-19 has exponentially increased uncertainties faced by businesses and made any long term planning appear at best speculative."

"Consumers are being jump-started into making quick decisions, and for some, even into reviewing their value system. For this reason, a comprehensive tracking survey such as MAPS is more essential than ever before," adds Falala.

"Unlike in past years when methodology if chosen correctly, was pretty much background noise we are seeing an evolution of the importance of methodological adaptation. The discussion of methods used to gather the data will be in the foreground and as exciting as the expected insights themselves," Falala says.

According to MRF, with the country currently in Level 4 of lockdown, the industry is going to be in a restricted environment for some time to come. The orgainisation says that many businesses now more than ever require sound research and consumer insights to guide their decision making.

"At the MRF, we believe that the need for MAPS is more critical than ever and we're working tirelessly with our partners and members to make MAPS a reality. The industry will be kept appraised of any updates as we progress through these uncertain times," concludes Koster.

The COVID-19 crisis is far from over, but governments everywhere appear to have either relaxed lockdown parameters or will do so soon. The curve may have been flattened, but there will be a greater risk now of being infected.

Containing COVID-19 and restoring our economies requires not just good policy decisions and medical advice; it also needs continued compliance with the recommended behavioural changes that in many ways go against social and cultural conventions. Daunting as they may seem, the drastic changes in behaviour being called for can indeed be brought about. The science of social marketing uses known marketing principles and behaviour change theory to influence peoples behaviour for the benefit of both the target audience and of society. Public health, safety and environmental concerns are some of the areas where social marketing can have huge impact.

The Health Belief Model (HBM), developed by Irwin M. Rosenstock others suggests that a persons health-related behaviours ultimately stem from the desire to avoid illness. The two most important constructs of the model are: perceived benefits the effectiveness of actions available to reduce the threat of the disease, and perceived barriers the obstacles to performing a recommended health action. The model also recognises the importance of cues to action or triggers which set into motion the process of adopting the desired behaviours. These cues, typically, are emotional, not just informative or educational. The HBM presumes that knowledge or education alone is grossly insufficient to change a persons behaviour. Cigarette sales, for example did not decline significantly for years despite the ills of smoking having been widely publicised.

India is one of the few countries that appears to have recognised the power of deliberately crafted emotive cues to action such as the Prime Ministers call for a voluntary Janata Curfew, exhorting citizens to show that they care for themselves and their loved ones, and to display their patriotism. People were asked to stay indoors but, at 5 p.m., to also applaud health-care workers and others who are a part of the pandemic battle. The blend of fear, patriotism and gratitude extolled by the Prime Minister appeared to have been just the right buttons to push and people did stay indoors. Yet at 5 p.m., while many applauded from their balconies, hordes of others congregated in large groups, throwing social distancing to the winds. Fear, patriotism and gratitude, even if they were effective as initiating cues to action, were insufficient to sustain behaviour change and needed to be periodically rekindled. The Prime Minister later called upon citizens to switch off lights at 9 p.m. for 9 minutes on a chosen day and light lamps to go from darkness to hope. As is well known, the number 9 and lighting lamps are powerful positive symbols in India.

In Singapore, the government, perhaps taking a cue, supported an event, Sing Together Singapore. People at home were encouraged to sing as well and wave a torchlight as gratitude for frontline and migrant workers.

Going back to the main constructs of the HBM, to be effective, the social marketing message would present the benefits as applying direct to the individual, not just indirectly to society at large. And, messaging about barriers should not make the change appear too difficult to engage in or make the cost of adopting the behaviours appear too high. Supportive measures should facilitate the adoption of the desired behaviour.

Here is an example to illustrate this. In the 1970s, Bangladesh undertook an ambitious family planning campaign keeping in mind the countrys limited resources. Research showed that while the women were able to readily see the benefits, the men, who were the decision makers at home, could not.

The campaign became successful after social marketers decided to empower women by making female contraceptives available through women rural medical practitioners who made house calls. The marketers also designed a communications programme directed at men highlighting benefits such as better health for their wives, thereby enabling them to look after their husbands and children better.

This writer conducted informal interviews (not scientific by any means) in Chennai to gauge receptivity to recommended behaviours during the pandemic. Here are the findings in relation to some of the recommended behavioural actions and possible messaging and support measures.

Many were not quite convinced of the threat posed by asymptomatic others merely because they were close by. The perceived direct benefits of social distancing were thus moderate at best. Further, one does not have the luxury of observing physical distancing in many situations (especially in densely populated areas). Telling someone to stand away is also difficult because it could be considered rude. Hygiene instructors often ask an audience to colour their hands and then show the imprints they leave everywhere to demonstrate how germs can spread. Would a social marketing campaign that paints a picture of the virus jumping onto you if you are close to an infected person work? This needs to be supported by physical barriers wherever possible to promote social distancing.

The recommendation to hand wash often or use an alcohol-based hand rub was unrealistic for too many people even though they saw the merit in it. The two options have been presented as equivalent, but from a behavioural change point of view they are not. Even those who had fairly easy access to soap and washing facilities found it rather inconvenient to interrupt whatever they were doing to frequently head to a hand wash station. If alcohol-based hand rubs were available within arms reach, people had no need to interrupt their work and drying their hands was not a problem since they would swiftly dry on their own. This suggests high payoffs from a decision by governments to focus on increasing the supply of hand rubs and absorbing or highly subsidising the costs of making hand rub bottles readily available to supplement hand washing with soap and water.

We know that shame is a powerful disincentive to undesirable behaviour. This writer has considerable experience in projects to make villages open defecation free through the use of Community-led Total Sanitation, a technique that liberally and successfully uses naming and shaming to achieve its goals. It is not hard to visualise messaging that shows bystanders strongly disapproving of those who do not comply with the COVID-19 recommendations.

A well-crafted social marketing campaign would help address the COVID-19 crisis and set foundations that will help ameliorate the adverse consequences of future pandemics. Let us build policy from science in the effort to save lives and to put the local and global economies back on track.
