    I hate how much people focus on packaging. you're literally opening the item and throwing away the box.

      Agreed I was looking for a hands on review and "yes" or "no" answer, but I got a unboxing and no review at all. I don't even get a reaction comment or comparsion to the high end VRs. I'll be assuming he's waiting on his samsung paycheck.

    Can I use this with DCS world? I got one as a birthday gift yesterday. It seemed great as I messed around with it (I was gonna get a rift when it comes out but NOT now having seen is $599 price tag) but when I actually tried it with DCS world, I cant get it to run. Is it just for games you pay for and download for the VR?

    • @CaptApril123
      @CaptApril123 9 лет назад +1

      +Peter Stubbs No, this and a few other of these phone devices out there are basically 'stereoscopy'..over 100 year old technology..the smartphone is doing the magic but the physics is 17th century..it's a 'taste' of VR.. The $600 Oculus Rift is immersive VR, everything fully rendered..you're phone couldn't do that.. Outside of the $600 for the Oculus Rift itself, you're going to have to have at least a $1,300 PC to run it on..but still, true VR for under $3,000... that's impressive. BTW, check out the 'View Master VR' pretty much does the same thing but for $20-$30.. You'll need to mod it for headstrap and audio/power ports but basically the same thing..

    • @peterstubbs5934
      @peterstubbs5934 9 лет назад

      Well its to support me on DCS so it looks like it`ll have to be the Rift BUT, I`m not paying £499.00 for it. it either gets cheaper or I wont it buy especially as it was quoted by one of their head shed as costing $350.00...
