Considered the year of Virtual Reality, this 2016 has seen how a technology that has been seeking to reach everyone for 30 years has finally made its way into homes and households with devices such as. HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR or PlayStation VR, which arrives this week. But now that VR is in everyone’s hands is when we can see applications beyond gaming entertainment.
