While this virtual world places me in New York, I'm actually standing in Barcelona at the MWC wireless trade show. I'm in the Intel booth, wearing an Oculus Rift and trying out a VR experience tied to the upcoming Marvel and Sony film, Spider-Man: Far From Home. Unfortunately, it was created specifically for the folks here at MWC.

It's not just a bit of marketing fluff -- OK, it largely is -- but a demonstration of how a VR game could work with a multiplayer component running over a 5G network. As I swing through the city, I'm racing another person in a second Oculus Rift setup 3,800 feet away at the Nokia booth.
