VRFocus - Plenty of smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMD) have been announced this month. Among them is the Jobe VR HMD which, as with the others, uses a handsets display and sensors to create low cost VR experiences without the need for an Oculus Rift HMD or expensive PC hardware.
