Virtual reality hype runs amok at MWC 2016, as mobile industry crowds onto bandwagon

[Philip Lelyveld note - lots of pictures in the story]

The mobile industry obviously believes VR is way more than just hype. They are behind it in a big, big way.

That could mean one of two things, I think.

Either this is going to create an unstoppable momentum that pushes VR into the mainstream this year.

Or the mobile industry is chasing fool’s gold and is going to be in for a huge disappointment.

Either way, at long last, consumers will get to cast the deciding votes with their attention and their wallets.
