Virtual Reality 3d Glasses

jbergey22 · 03-22-2016, 09:56 PM

I messed around with the new samsung VR 3D glass today and they were incredible. Unfortunately you have to have a samsung newer phone to be compatible. My question is does anyone know of anything similar for the iphone 6?

I was playing this game and it felt like I was in a spaceshuttle outside of earth shooting down drones. Even started feeling a slight fear of heights.

I haven't tried any of these, but there's a ton of budgetish VR options for smart phones, including iPhone.

Random article, but again I haven't tried any of these:

Appreciate that!

I was looking at a few on Amazon that were marked down a lot. Just a bit hesitant to take the plunge.

I checked the samsung ones out at best buy, and everything looked blurry.

As soon as I can upgrade to the Samsung S7, I'm getting those glasses too.

My daughter and I were hogging them at the Verizon store the other day.. then the lady says.. sir, you have another year before you can upgrade, wth?

Just bought an s7. Came with a free gear VR, looking forward to playing with it.

I've had the gear VR for awhile now with my s6. It's great for the price, being early their are some limitations that I'm sure will improve with later VR technology. Overall I'm super impressed. My favorite thing has been live sports. There's an app that broadcasts live sports, such as boxing and the Big East tournament. They look absolutely phenomenal in VR. Also horror in VR is no joke.

I think like a lot of people I'm kinda planning to sit this VR stuff out for awhile, but if we get to the point where we've got 360° tracking cameras at sporting events connected to motion sensor VR glasses, then sign me up.

Helmet cam VR would be amazing. Put on your Vive on Sundays, tune to your favorite player's cam and see what its like to be a real NFL player.
