Virtual reality is beyond the capabilities of more than 99 per cent of the world's computers running in 2016.
Only around 13 million machines can run the required sophisticated technology for virtual reality headsets including Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, according to graphics chip maker Nvidia.
Rift, Vive and Sony's PlayStation VR headsets are all expected to go on consumer sale within the first three months of the year, with Oculus set to open pre-orders for its completed Rift headset later this week.
