    Not worth the price

    This is ok, but not worth the price. Don't even think about purchasing if you wear glasses, it's not compatible. It has a view adjuster dial, but it still is very grainy and has low resolution. A friend of mine has a $30 VR that's compatible with any phone, Android or I-Phone and it's not as blurry. Don't waste your money.

    You can visit almost anywhere in the world and never leave home. I walked through museums and parks in Paris and hiked a mountain in Colorado. Give it a shot you'll like it.

    The gear itself is great to play games but the Oculus app takes way to much memory and is constantly adding updates.

    It works well with all the Oculus content but not with other apps available through cardboard without 3rd party app.
