Samsung’s Odyssey VR headset is set to make a big splash at the end of the year. With two OLED displays (1440 x 1600 each), a 90Hz refresh rate, and an 110-degree field of view, the Odyssey offers one of the most immersive experiences available. It also features adjustable interpupillary distance and built-in AKG headphones, making it a standout choice for VR enthusiasts.

A new VR running shoe called Vortrex has been developed by Jamie Heinmann. This device acts as a mini treadmill, allowing users to walk or run in place while immersed in VR. Although still in prototype form, it shows great potential for enhancing the VR experience.
AR is also making a difference in people’s lives. Researchers at Harvard have found that AR can help visually impaired individuals perceive their surroundings again.
