Here’s the thing about Mobile World Congress: exhibitors are working hard to dazzle attendees with splashy, show-stopping demonstrations of cutting edge technology, although oftentimes that technology is years from being commercialized and having a real impact on your life.
For instance, at the show this year, Samsung had a virtual reality rollercoaster set up, while SK Telecom opted for a Beatles-inspired yellow submarine ride that, via VR headsets, let riders swim with whales.
