    The fad did not last very long because it overheated very quickly. There would be no way you could watch an entire movie without having to take breaks for the phone to cool down.

    Gateway to Virtual Reality

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you are interested to see what the future of VR will be, this is the perfect place to start. There are enough free movies, images, and experiences for countless hours of entertainment and an increasing library of games. GearVR is comfortable, easily adjustable, fits over nearly all glasses, and easy to set up. I've taken advantage of the portable nature of the product to share the experience with family, friends, even co-workers, all of which were amazed and no one experienced any motion sickness. The execution isn't flawless -- if you are running other applications in the background (or if your phone is updating/download apps), your phone will get an overheat notice in some cases. Also, this is limited VR; there is no secondary source allowing you to lean forward for example. Regardless, the technology is amazing and you can certainly lose yourself inside one of the many experiences, be it the wonder of Cirque du Soleil, the beauty of the waterfalls of Ireland, or the terrifying house of Dreadhalls. It is impossible to explain exactly how it feels, you simply must experience it for yourself!
