Huawei also has a virtual reality headset

Virtual Reality is the big buzzword of the moment and Chinese tech giants Huawei are getting in on the action with their own headset.

Huawei also has a virtual reality headset

Like Samsung's Gear VR it will use one of the company's smartphones to power the experience, with a list so far including the Huawei P9, the P9 Plus and Mate 8. The phone pops into the headset and lets you interact with a few basic buttons.

The headset has been very creatively dubbed Huawei VR and promises 95 degrees of coverage and fairly low latency of 20ms. You won't be able to use glasses inside the unit but the lens inside can adjust for myopia up to minus 7.
