This summer, Pokémon Go became the first augmented reality app to catch fire with consumers. At the same time, Samsung, HTC and Google aggressively pushed a sister technology – virtual reality headsets – as part of their new smartphone launches. 

So it's no wonder virtual reality/augmented reality are poised to be the rabbit everyone chases at the upcoming CES 2017 trade show in Las Vegas – a massive consumer electronics extravaganza that opens Jan 5.
