stereoscopic 3d is a meme

it's more of a vr demo than anything actually usable
still pretty neat for a few days before the novelty wears off

It's not worth shit unless you have something with a very high resolution and the porn you download is also good quality

I don't see how it's any different from the Samsung VR. They're both only holders at the end of the day and don't actually provide any additional hardware

i can make this shit at home

>>54485018
Pretty sure its open source hardware too so you can look at designs
>>
Got one for $3. Was good for about 5mins plus one fap. Waste of time
>>

The Gear VR does have additional hardware though.

>>54483707
Gear VR isn't really any better, but at least even the Note 4 offers a 1440p display, making that whole thing working out much better.

So it basically incorporates everything VR has to offer in 2016.

I bought a viewer, but it was a $4 one I found on eBay. Pretty much a third-party type deal, but it's already pre-assembled and comes with a velcro headstrap.

All I can say is that it's just a novelty right now. It was pretty neat to look at for like 15 minutes, then I put it back down. I used it with an iPhone 6 Plus. There should be some potential here as a "budget solution" to a Rift. And by potential there really needs to be porno apps so I can peacefully jack off on my bed with a small cardboard box on my face.
