    this was an off the cuff purchase. I had heard good things from a few friends so I tried it out since it was not too expensive. It turned out to be pretty awesome. You can have a full 360 degree experience with some videos or just watch a movie on a movie theater sized tv.

    A little tricky hooking the phone into the device, mainly because of the selection of two different sizes. Very intense graphics. Programs are available from Oculus with numerous free demos available.

    The concept of this is pretty awesome but it's pretty uncomfortable if you wear it for more than 30 minutes. It would be better if the head straps were better and they had more movies or sporting events.

    This is really cool, but it doesn't have much of a practical purpose for me. The movies you can download are entertaining, but not for long. if you're not a game player don't spend the money

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Haven't cared to play a computer game in 15 years. This changed everything. Add a good headset and you will become part of the game's environment. And to think it came free with a Samsung S7 Edge pre-order! If you have a compatible Samsung phone, try this and you will be hooked.

    For one I got these for free as a promotion for getting the new S7 edge. Secondly, these work amazingly with my phone, can't believe how far tech has come. Just know running vr on your phone will drain your battery and will make your phone get crazy hot. Take breaks!!

    The VR system easily draws you into an alternate world. With certain programs you're able to escape to different worlds or places that can be visited without stepping out of one's living room.

    Realistic viewing. Superb graphics. Need to get used to using the goggles. Can make you feel nauseated if used for too long. Otherwise, very cool!!
