Facebook/Oculus VR for the masses?: One of the biggest drawbacks when it comes to high-end Virtual Reality is the price point. From a cutting edge PC, to $400 for an Oculus Rift headset, it’s an expensive buy-in. Facebook has now announced they are planning a standalone, wireless headset for $200, to debut next year. Is a $200 price point low enough for you to make the jump to VR?
Apple’s ARKit: The implementation of Augmented Reality has been a goal for tech companies for a long time. The Google Glass made the first mass attempt, but now Apple may be preparing to bring AR mainstream. The ARKit will allow many different companies the opportunity to design more applications for the technology.
Samsung debuts 33.8 ft LED movie screen: The first ever High Dynamic Range, Cinema LED Screen has been installed in Korea.
