Apple Watch may be the most useful VR accessory yet

Weirdly, the Apple Watch could become the "must have" VR accessory of the year.

There are now several VR apps in Apple's App Store offering companion apps for the Apple Watch. These companion apps don't allow you to look down in VR and see your watch, but instead give the wearer some basic controls over what is being seen by others in these apps. This gives the person wearing the Apple Watch the ability to share something in VR with another person without making that person entirely responsible for controlling the virtual experience they currently inhabit, which is brilliant.

One of the most awkward parts of sharing VR with someone unfamiliar with the experience is not being able to control what that person sees. This is even worse with mobile VR, where you can't see what the other person is seeing and have to use their descriptions of things to navigate them to the experience you want to share.
