    Amazing Technology - Worth It

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

    The low cost of entry, (given the BIG caveat that you already have the required phone hardware) is a huge selling point here. Set up is pretty straight forward and it is an eye opening experience, for sure. With a simple app download, you can also access all Google Cardboard apps on the Play Store along with everything you have access to in the Oculus/Samsung store. You really have to experience it to understand how amazing this technology is. Given another five years, this will seem archaic, so for $100 you have front row seats to see how the world will dramatically change with VR within the next half decade. The low price of entry and expanding content selection, (Land's End is a fantastic game, by the way) means if you have the money and requisite phone to make this work, you are doing yourself a disservice by not buying it.

    Great idea as it provides unique experience, but it needs a lot of work. The image quality is bellow standard, i'd start feeling dizzy after 15 minutes of using it. The graphics are poor, it is like watching an old generation TV. Returned it after 2 weeks.
