Google DIY Cardboard and Smartphone Virtual VR Reality Headset (Second generation)

Good fun, cheap way to explore the world of VR. Added some duct tape & are now exploring the pyramids and other places my wheelchair wouldn't take me. Good fun, cheap way to explore the world of VR.

I bought this for my daughter on her 6th birthday. It’s really great when you find the compatible games. We filtered through a whole lot of apps on the iPhone and her android phone and we found that the android phone has more VR apps/games so she uses that device. It’s a great starter in to the immersive world of VR and I am happy with it ( as is she lol ) I bought this for my daughter on her 6th birthday. It’s really great when you find the compatible games.

Though not a super comfortable top quality item - it certainly is pretty cool and great value for the money. If you want to try out virtual reality without spending a fortune then this is a good option for giving it a try.

A good and cheap way to try VR if you are completely new to the experience and don't want to spend too much money on a headset. The only drawback is that there is no head strap so you have to hold it the entire time.

VR videos are wicked, I did struggle a bit because my phone is too small so I had to shift the phone a bit until the the focus was clear. Also does enlarge the pixels, but the 3d effect is definitely immersed. For a cardboard designed product don't expect the best viewing experience. I don't know what it compares to though, this my first VR product I tried out and pleased with it enough to not expect any much better from a higher moulded product or something more expensive.

A bit expensive for something I can make at home with cardboard. A bit expensive for something I can make at home with cardboard.
