    For a free add on it is amazing. The 3d games are fun to play and the free pictures that you down load brings the photos to life. The 3 d experience is mich better than i was assuming it would be, and my only complaint is how the lenses keep needing to be cleaned like glasses. The cleaning process is kinda awkward.

    The googles work very well, although you can see the pixels fairly easy. I have not compared this model to other models, so I cannot comment further on that. The ease of coupling the phone and the touch controls are excellent. Very vivid video and 3D experience when using headphones to complete the setup.

    Pro: Very easy setup process. Great for family fun, especially using Rollercoaster apps. Con: Small selection of apps but more keep getting developed as popularity increases. Only developed for Oculus Samsung app which limits app availability but there are apps that will let you run Google VR apps as well.

    Opened the package, installed the updates and tried some of there free content. Not to amused, I did notice that Netflix is on-board and that you are able to view your videos from your phone using VR. I will update this once I use it a bit longer.

    The good thing about this is that it does not require a high level computer; all you need is one of the latest samsung phones. On of the bad thing I noticed is that the graphics were a little blurry. There is a knob to help adjust the blurriness, but I could not get it as sharp as I exepected it should be.
