Remember the days when mom would remind us not to stay too close to the TV set when watching our favorite cartoons? Now, technology got us twisted with VR (Virtual Reality) sets that make us feel like we are in another environment.
My first VR experience was in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress. I was on Geek Mode and I got to try different gadgets and the latest in technology. Remember I had the opportunity to interview the VIBE Product Manager.
The Lenovo Vibe K5 Series was recently launched in the Philippines.
