Motorola and Verizon made a '5G Neckband' for lighter VR headsets
try and fail to make VR headsets for the mainstream, and currently devices from Oculus , Valve, HTC and Sony are left standing thanks to the appeal of immersive gaming.
I haven't seen the 5G Neckband in person, but based on the photos, it looks like a cross between a chunky necklace and a lanyard. There's what looks like a rope-sized cable encircling your neck, which the companies say attaches magnetically, and a card-sized module that dangles from its middle.
Motorola and Verizon aren't ready to share details around pricing and availability yet, but did tease that they were in talks with major partners including"already in place retail channels that are doing things in AR and VR," Mecum said. He also mentioned that they're working with"some sports leagues" and"something pretty big with education."
