    Neat technology. The visor should come with the game pad, though.

    Loved it the first time I put it on. Just to view still photos makes this worth the money, and gaming is way cool.

    I was excited to purchase and use this device. However, as is usual at my local store, the sample device was not working. That should have been my first clue. This was the second time i had tried to test this at the store with my Note 5. But i went ahead and made the purchase. First of all, if you wear glasses, you are already at a disadvantage. With or without glasses you cannot focus this thing to be clear. And apparently the Note 5 overheats like crazy! I was terribly disappointed with this. Lack of clarity, overheating, image jumping around and not staying centered, etc. As the title says, not worth it. Will likely return it.
