An iPhone-Powered VR Headset Promises Positional Tracking Without a Tether

But with the newly released iPhone-only Bridge headset from Occipital, it's now the focal device in one of those most promising headsets we've seen to date. The overall concept is familiar enough: You take an iPhone 6, 6s, or 7 and slip it into a slot on the front of the headset and then strap the device on your head. (Sorry, the "Plus" size versions of these aren't compatible.) But it's Occipital's Structure Sensor that makes the Bridge unique.
