    Lots of steps to get it set up and if you share with friends it does not have the option to re-train the user.

    I enjoyed this a lot, but the novelty wore off. Is a good buy nonetheless especially when it came as a bundle.

    The commercials for this device made it very appealing. Got it for my kids. They've only played with it once.

    I like the concept but I think to launch such a item you should have more developers on board. I feel as though it's nice to use but what happens after years end. Will we be stuck with a dud. I wouldn't recommend to a friend because I think it's got a short coming. It would be great if your hands were in front of you and can interact with what u see. To my that VR. This is just 3D

    It's great picture, but can make you dizzy. Not something you want to keep on for a long time. But it is fun.
