    So I snapped in my note 5 and bam I was in a new world. Just unbelievable that this headset can do what it does. It even has full on Netflix that gives you a movie theater experience. It has games you can purchase and all kinds of different environments to explore. My kids can't get enough of it and I have have been waiting to get another turn lol. The one drawback i can see is i wish the picture could be a little better. It has a slight blur no matter how well you adjust it. But for 99 dollars it's a must buy and lots of fun! I can't wait to see how far samsung takes it! But for now it's definitely worth a try!

    An incredible device that completely immerses the user in a virtual environment. Before trying the Samsung VR, I read many reviews and was not exactly sure as to what I was getting. After all, the last "VR" device I used was Nintendo's Virtual Boy. This is a very exciting piece of technology that gives a hint at what the future of gaming, media consumption, and learning holds for us. In my opinion, this is a must have for every home.
