For years the promise of VR -- virtual reality -- has been the lore of science fiction. Today’s consumer and business applications have just begun to scratch the surface of what’s possible when it comes to exploring virtual and our own worlds through connected devices. 5G advancements in wireless networks will take these worlds to the next level and that much closer to truly feeling real.
