The coolest thing you didn't see at CES 2020
A stunning 8k, 3D display. And no glasses, thankfully, unlike the failed 3D TVs. Why didn't you see it? It wasn't on the show floor. But I did, high up in the Venetian, and I'm wondering ...
Consumer VR officially arrived two years ago, but now the immersive tech is officially worth a look.
If you're new to VR, some clarification may be in order. Until recently, VR headsets fell into two categories: Tethered headsets, which connect with a PC or gaming device, and mobile units, which require a smartphone. The Oculus Go is something different, an untethered, mobile VR device that doesn't require a smartphone or external PC. There are tradeoffs -- anyone who's used a Rift will notice differences in the responsiveness and will probably be more likely to gripe about light leaks and the heaviness of the headset, which can feel cumbersome after a while. But those are small tradeoffs for a $200 all-in-one package that legitimately brings VR to the masses.
