Held in Berlin at the end of last month, the massive consumer electronics show
IFA featured a host of virtual- and augmented-reality gadgets.
The annual show, which began as an exhibition for the new medium of radio more than 90 years ago, is today a huge showcase of the latest in technological innovations.
Goldman Sachs predicted earlier this year that the virtual- and augmented-reality markets will reach $80 billion by 2025.
IHS Insight analyst Ian Fogg said: “Virtual reality is very much a trend of the moment. It will be interesting to see how big the market will be, what role smart-phones will play, what kind of concepts will work with virtual reality and what kind of consumers will embrace the technology.
