    The tech industry is banking on VR, but most folks have never even tested a headset like the Oculus Rift, let alone plunked down $500-plus to buy one. In France, at least, it's about to become easier to try them out, thanks to a Paris movie theater chain called MK2. It's launched a virtual reality experience featuring the latest games and videos on the Rift, Sony's PlayStation VR and the HTC Vive. At $25 for 40 minutes, you can play games like The Climb and Star Wars Battlefront: Mission X-Wing VR, watch VR films, or fly over Manhattan in the Birdly motion sim.
