Traditional broadcast TV services have stagnated over the past couple of years, while over-the-top services such as Amazon Video, Netflix and the BBC's iPlayer led the way. Sky's Q dragged broadcast TV kicking and screaming into the 21st century with a modern interface, fast box and service that put time and place shifting at the heart of it. It records, it downloads, it supports 4K and can spit video around your house via Q Mini boxes or the Q app on smartphones and tablets using your home network. Sky Q was pretty expensive at launch, but now is available from £20 per month. Bluetooth headphones are almost mainstream.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to the stage today at the Oculus Connect developers conference and showed off a taste of the company's mobile VR future. Lone Echo turns you into a robot assistant that can help a mission commander thanks to the use of your hands, made possible by the new Oculus Touch hand sensors. SAN JOSE -- When Oculus Rift first debuted, there were only a few ways to interact with the virtual world inside the headset. You could look at something and then click on a small control stick. This actually happened when I first experienced a VR T-Rex snarling in my face.

This is still just a sliver of the overall gaming universe, so it's not quite the abundance that Oculus makes it out to be. Treat this like a video game console launch -- there will be plenty to play, but only if you're not picky. The real show begins when the "hundreds" of future Oculus Touch games arrive and you can simply assume that many (if not most) Rift games support the device.
