How much fun can I have without logging into a VRMMORPG?  Well, the answer is clearly though Dr. Kong's contribution to LitRPG!  He has magically transported us to The Land, and keeps us wanting more.  His characters leap off the page and occupy a non-stop background process when I am not reading it, and a dynamic literary symphony while I am turning every page.  I even think about it as I am actually logged into my real MMORPG.  How crazy-cool is that?
Thank you Aleron!!!  My Affinity for your books is at 100% and your Scribing Ability has reached MasterClass!

This is a very affordable Google cardboard.  I had never used one before and I was so suprised at how much fun they are.  You get a true virtual reality experience.

They arrived in their storage sleeve and it did take a few moments to understand the directions on how to put them together.  They are basically heavy duty cardboard with strong Velcro.

They can be folded back up when not in use and put back into the sleeve for storage.  My daughter who's is 14 took them from me and I have not seen them since.. According to her she has been flying and on roller coasters!

I only gave 4 stars because they are a bit uncomfortable on your nose as it is the cardboard edge that sits on it.

I recieved this product free in exchange for my honest review of this product.

This VR is better than I expected, the games are truly immersive, really enjoying "Rush of Blood" and "London Heist" from VR Worlds.  So far I think it tracks excellent and it hasn't given me any technical issues.  The graphics are similar to PS3, but the PS3 had decent graphics and it dosen't seem to affect my opinion on how Awesome the gameplay is. This is definitely worth it if your looking to move your gaming into the future, which will most likely be VR.  If your on the fence about it, but have the extra money, don't hesitate, you will Love it!

I have been a geek all my life. Waited since the 80's for an awesome VR experience.. wait no more. Sure, it's not 4k gaming, but know what? The immersion is worth it alone. Fantastic quality, awesome games (dead and buried, superhot just to name a few) are worth it! But, DO spend the extra for the touch controllers. A true VR experience absolutely needs them. I run them in a good Pc with a 1080 card, and it's smooth as butter. My kids have a blast with them too! Vr movies (ahem.. adult ones) are something else too ;)

Wicked fun! Is virtual reality more real for a computer than reality?  I love the point of view used in this story, and I love the character Annabel. More please!

Really didn't know what to expect with this as I never bought or used a device like this before, I do enjoy using it, before buying this please note that for the best vr experience make sure your mobile device has gyroscope, mine didn't and that really limited the use but I was still able to get some games and simulations and of course there's videos on YouTube that would work as well, was a hit at a recent get together if you're looking for an inexpensive way to experience vr this is the way to go

Merge VR - Virtual Reality Headset for iPhone and Android

VR, Virtual Reality, has been around for decades but has only become affordable to consumers in recent years. These days you don't need incredibly expensive fast graphics machines, specialized 3D stereo displays and (finicky) custom trackers  most of this functionality is built into todays smart phones. As proof of concept, Google created Google Cardboard, an inexpensive headset which could be used to immerse you in 3D stereo video on your phone while tracking your head movements creating a realistic experience of being immersed in the scene. The MergeVR Virtual Reality Headset is essentially a more robust version of Google Cardboard with better lenses.

Merge VRs virtual reality googles, like Google Cardboard, should work with any Android or iPhone made in the past two years. They are made of heavy-duty foam with adjustable lenses for optimizing the 3D stereo on your smart phone to your particular vision. Two sliding knobs can be moved left and right to make adjustments. Each of the knobs has a button on top to activate certain functions in apps (walking, selecting, etc.). There are cut-outs in the foam to access the phones headphone port and camera (for augmented reality apps). The goggles also include a heavy-duty elastic strap to hold the headset to your face and an optional top strap which I would recommend installing to keep the headset in place. There is also a simplified set of instructions and including multiple pages of warnings and a URL to the MergeVR website where one can find more detailed instructions, videos and links to curated content.

The headset appears well made, is very comfortable to wear (especially with the top-strap installed) and seems nearly indestructible. From my experience, they won't easily fit over prescription glasses but I found I didn't really to wear them with this headset. I initially wore the headset strap too tight, however, which pulled the goggles too close to my eyes making the video appear blurry. Once I loosened up the straps, the screen was MUCH sharper. Installing the top strap helped a great deal. To experience VR, all you need to do is to download and run a Google Cardboard compatible app or open a Cardboard compatible YouTube video, slide your phone into the headset, attach headphones and place the goggles and headphones on your head. Headphones are highly recommended since some apps use directional sound. As nothing is ever quite as simple as you expect, sometimes sliding my phone into the headset would press the HOME button on the phone and go to the home screen. I would also recommend trying this out while seated because you can easily become disorientated and trip over things. Once the app starts running, you can usually turn your head to look all around and stare at menu items to open them. I might suggest trying a spooky little app called Sisters as a short demo (don't forget the headphones).

This headset is a great deal fun but consumer orientated VR is still young so there are still only a limited number of apps and videos and the technology isn't quite mature at this point in time. For this reason, I would recommend the MergeVR and its like more for early adopters and experimenters. And if you have one of the newest Samsung Galaxy smartphones, you should definitely check out the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Samsung-Gear-VR-Virtual-Reality-Headset/dp/B016OFYGXQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Samsung Gear VR - Virtual Reality Headset</a>.

Incredible!  You can see where things are going.  VR has the potential to be a true game changer.  I thought this was just going to be a gimmick.  I am SOLD and excited for the future in VR.  Sounds like 2016 may end up being a big year for the technology.

Pretty Headset, comfortable, good introduction to Virtual Reality.  After initial wow factor, I stopped using it.

Since PSVR is the affordable VR option the screen resolution is lower than others.  In addition, VR has been making me nauseous; the severity of the nausea also depends on what game is played - anything that jumps around too much make me nauseous right away.

At this point I don't think PSVR is ready for the general user.  It would take the second or third generation PSVR for better screen technology and lower costs for general consumers to buy.  Hopefully better technology will solve my nauseous problem else I can't use VR.

I probably got the usage I paid for out of this, but it did end up having plastic break off. It's certainly a step up from a cardboard headset, but if VR is at all an interest, get a real headset (Vive, ect).

Before purchasing this  InewVision Virtual Reality  3D Headset,  I had no real knowledge of what these are like. I had a little trouble figuring this out do to the fact that all of the instructions for the headset are in Chinese or similar language.  I had downloaded a VR app that didn't do what I expected so I started some YouTube searching for split screen videos that when watched with this Headset are transformed in 3d videos. Pretty cool. Well the Bluetooth remote only works to raise and lower the volume and you can move the cursor using the joystick type handle on the controller on Galaxy S5 . The videos are pretty cool to watch but the best  experience is with a VR app. I just tried one out and found that I don't need the remote with this app. You look in different directions and on screen controls pop up to watch differnt things that are in 360. This is absolutely incredible.  The app I tried is called "Jaunt VR". This is available in the Google Play App Store.  I would rate this a 4 because of the language that the instructions are written in but since I figured out how to use it on my own, I love it so much that it gets a 5 star rating. I would buy another without much thought. It's comfortable to wear and not very heavy. I hope ypu find my review for this VR headset to be informative and helpful. Thanks for checking this out and now go buy yours and enjoy the experience. Take care.

I received this at a discount for my honest review and unbiased opinion. The price I pay for an item in no way influences my review and I always give my honest opinion based on the use of the product.

The future is here. This is the VR solution that many of us have been dreaming of since the 80s. Its TRON and The Lawnmower Man come to life. Its not quite the Matrix yet but its certainly a step in that direction. The feeling of being transported to another world is amazingly successful. I felt morally challenged in a game that required me to shoot back at people. It felt almost too real having a gun pointed at my head while being verbally assaulted by a foul mouthed Briton. This is game changing technology. A first step into a realm of limitless possibilities.

I have never used a Virtual Reality Headset before but always wanted one. I had seen the Oculus Rift and the Samsung Gear VR but they were very expensive. I purchased this product because of the low cost but did not expect much. But I was completely shocked of what this product had in store. It is well built and very comfortable.

The materials used are for a purpose and worth an explanation. The leather head strap is lightweight and comfortable. It has no smell and very soft. The 8 layer nano coating and HD polished resin lens gives a sharp immersive screen with very little distortion. The front of the headset is magnetic and removable for better air circulation and cooling.

It is user friendly and can be easily adjustable for anyone. There is a knob to adjust the lens for your eyes. Another knob is for focal distance for those with glasses and contacts.

Your smartphone is placed by opening the front of the headset which is magnetic. It fits snug via a spring loaded clamp  and has some padding to keep it from moving around. My Galaxy S5 fits just right for an amazing VR experience. The sides have opening to plug headphones.

A issue I saw with the product was the lack of interaction with the screen. There are no buttons to respond to the screen. You have to open the headset to address any issues.

Easy, cheap way to find out what Virtual Reality is like. It was easy to assemble, my Nexus 5 fit just fine. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is it does not work well for people like myself who wear glasses and have a big nose.

There are lots of free VR apps and I installed one that let me be a sub sea explorer that was a lot of fun. I had to stand up and move around, ran into my TV and the wall a few times.

I know what to look for if I get a more expensive VR headset.

I've waited to post due to waiting for the Touch controllers, but I'll go ahead anyway.
It's wonderful, but I still look to what the future has to bring.  The immersion is amazing, but I'm looking forward to the day that we won't have to have the long cable attatcing us to to the computer. I highly recommend getting with a friend that knows computers to build a powerful computer more than deal with the horrible bundles that trick you into paying more.  Super glad I did.  Anyway, this is the first worthy step in regards to VR.

Great purchase, I use this with the HTC Vive and experience true VR immersion when racing.  Very comfortable and I can even stow it away in a closet when not using.

The DESTEK 2016 New Version Vone 3D VR set is pretty awesome in that it allows 3d and virtual reality to be viewed with your phone.

Cons:  I found that it does hurt at the nose due to lack of cushioning, but included was nose cusions that can be applied to correct same.  There is no qr code specifically for this unit which was disappointing, but using the default settings seemed to do fine.  Also disappointing was the lack of camera hole on rear cover for augmented reality.  This can be corrected with a large drill bit, but is not advised onless you are comfortable modifying unit.  Bluetooth controller was difficult to pair at first, but after removing batteries and cycling bluetooth off then back on, worked fine.  Also controller doesn't work as expected, but may just take a little time to figure out.

Pros:  Unit was relatively light when mounted on head using head straps.  Was able to use a Google Nexus 6P in unit with a little room to spare.  Inclusion of bluetooth controller was really nice.  Cardboard apps are getting better every week, and the number available is pretty big.  My 9 yr old son, my 12 yr old daughter, and I (38yr old man) have all enjoyed using it so far and all look forward to using it more.

If my opinion changes on any of this, I will update
