    For the level of simplicity, this provides a great experience. Lots of contents on Youtube. Just experience taking off in a 777 airliner in the cockpit. Awesome!

    I got this for my boyfriend for christmas but he has used a friend's before and absolutely loved it. Read online it overheats quick but there's hacks to combat it.

    Great price and very fun to use but doesn't work well with corrective lenses. With my contacts on, the picture is very blurry since it's basically like a magnifying glass over your phone inches away from your eyes. Once I took them out I could see much more clearly. It's still a bit out of focus but that's kind of expected given the cost and that it uses your cell phone.

    After trying it, I'm convinced that VR is the future. It's just not here right now with this setup. Things just don't work. Resolution is low, lens fogs up, Oculus VR software does not auto start when you put the phone into the Gear VR. It's the future, it's just not here yet. Maybe when Apple and Sony... (er not Sony) gets into it, it will be more consumer friendly.
