We made a big report on the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona for the subscribers to our Mobile Display Monitor newsletter.
Dell had a very big presence at the show, but as a software and services company as Dell EMC and that includes VMWare, which was part of EMC. We couldn’t find anybody that wanted to talk about client devices or displays.
Dell used a Transparent Display on its booth and plenty of visitors were looking at them with curiosity. It’s a shame they are not available any more! Image:Meko

SK Telecom was showing its ability to support automotive data and had a car surrounded on most sides by a transparent LED display, which was unusual, but we couldn’t get much information on the display.
Google announced that it has shipped 10 million Cardboard viewers. The Google VR team also took the opportunity to announce Sky VR, a new premium VR video content app, and three new augmented reality experiences – The Sims, Chelsea Kicker and WSJ AR – for Tango-enabled devices. Outside its booth, it had a big LED display. Each pixel was an interactive switch.
