Although 2016 was touted to be the year of VR, with the likes of Sony and HTC launching powerful devices, the tech proved too expensive for mainstream audiences. Seeking to make virtual worlds more accessible is the Oculus Go, an affordable headset that doesn’t need a high-end computer to operate.

Oculus Go is an affordable, standalone virtual reality headset released with the intention of bringing VR to one billion people around the world. As people continue to see experiences as the key to personal fulfillment, will VR help technology become less isolating?

2015 will see an avalanche of virtual reality devices appear in the mass market, with the likes of Sony, Google, Facebook and Microsoft targeting gamers across the globe. The technology may now be an attainable reality, but will it be used for anything beyond video games?

There are hundreds of millions of sports fans worldwide, but whether due to geographical distance or limited ticket availability, many won’t get to see their favourite team in a stadium setting. With Intel True View, however, people can immerse themselves in the action through VR live-streams.
