Motorola Made A 5G Scarf And VR Is To Blame

The thought of buying a wearable to get 5G instead of it being inside your headset might seem a little weird. After all, does it really save any money? That really all depends on how much the band or wearable ends up costing. Plus you have to take into account how much a headset without those connectivity functions would cost, too. At the moment, Motorola and Verizon haven’t shared any prices. However, it could open the door for scaling VR applications – like movie theaters, and more.

“Motorola’s wearable neckband and ultra-lightweight AR smart glasses leverage Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network and mobile edge compute platform, enabling us to deliver immersive technology in many fields, such as sports training and fan experiences, as well as making VR theaters scalable,” Brian Mecum shared in the blog post for the new device.

Of course, wearing a neckband that looks massive on you might not be on everyone’s list of technological advancements. But, if the tech proves to be useful, and people start to make use of it, we could see it take more form-fitting shapes in the future. It could even end up working as a bracelet or even something small enough to attach to your clothing that doesn’t look as out-of-place.
