    This is an awesome concept and is very immersive. However, the Gear isn't as convenient to use as I had hoped. You really have to wait for a weekend home alone to use it....otherwise you can't use it like you should for interruptions and noise coming from other rooms.

    While they have a limited selection of VR apps that actually struck my interest I was able to find a few that actually was fun and interesting. My only downside to this besides the lack of apps is the comfort of the headset during extended periods of usage.
