    Solid VR viewer for specific games

    This is a good VR viewer for the ViewMaster games. The difficult parts are you have to take your phone (at least in our case for the iPhone 7 Plus) out of its case to fit in the viewer. You also have to hold the viewer up to your face all the name, which can be tiring after a while.

    Best Upgrade VR Viewer without a strap

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

    This is the upgrade from version 1 of the view master vr head gear. It is a great plus with the focus lens and ear plug ports. Unlike the other under 100 VR Viewers, this device secures the phone tightly and the optical view are is not too large like in some which lead you to see more of the phone edges then the VR content. To see more 360 VR sample content and how VR is taking shape for mobile user check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vPzgGz8MsE

    Good, But Not Great

    This is a good alternative to Google's Cardboard VR viewer, but it is not on the same level as Samsung's Gear VR that I tried in the store. This one was not available for demo, so I took a shot since the Gear VR does not support my iPhone. The biggest drawback is the lack of a headband. Your arms will get tired of holding this thing. There are some tips on how to fashion a headband out there which require gluing a contraption to the ViewMaster, which I don't find too appealing, but it's better than holding this thing to your face for extended periods. All in all, it;'s not bad... it's just not great.

    For what it is, it does well. However, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on this tech yet as it still had a long way to go. Would be nice if you could strap it to your head as your arms will get tried holding it up.

    Although it can be a little difficult to get lined up to produce the first "slide" after you get it going it is amazing. Definitely get as many of the "Adventures" as you can as they are pretty inexpensive (<$10) and they are all informational and educational. Very enjoyable.

    Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. Although it took my hubby and son a little bit to figure it out (they're not big on reading instructions, lol). Finally they did figure it out and we've been having fun seeing the world from a new perspective.

    Cool concept with an educational twist for kids. Don't forget to buy a viewing cartridge or it's not functional, except for a short demo.

    Viewmaster - DELUXE???

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

    I received the Viewmaster Deluxe as a gift. I had been looking into getting some kind of VR system, and this had been one of the many. While the design and quality are good, where this system lacks is its features. It has one button and that's it. It would be good for an elementary school kid or maybe even younger (my 3 yr old loves it), but as a serious VR contender it is not.

    A great google cardboard option

    This works great as a general google cardboard headset. There's no mechanism to hold to to your face because it's designed to function like an old viewmaster where you use the lever on the side to advance the reel. The games are pretty pricey with in-app purchases but if you can find a good deal on the game discs in a box somewhere, theyr'e worth while. My kids love this!
