when it comes to virtual reality, the oculus rift is the biggest name in the business – it's been around for a while, the technology is top-notch, and a lot of people have heard of it. but what if you're looking for something a little different? (or a little more affordable?) luckily, you have a number of options. here are 10 good ones to check out.
6 exciting alternatives to Oculus Rift – Reality Check
samsung worked with oculus and created the gear vr to work with its galaxy phones – specifically the galaxy s6, s6 edge, s6 edge+ and note 5. by connecting your phone to the headset you take advantage of the power of the galaxy's impressive display, which is why that the price of gear vr is a very wallet friendly $99.
reviews for the gear vr have been very positive, with users citing its impressive image quality as one of its strongest points. this quality will be evident when watching 2D and 3D movies in one of three different theater environments, streaming videos from Vimeo, and playing both classic arcade games and modern games like Pac-Man, Joust, and the newer Land's End.
Another cool (but oddly named) feature is Samsung's Milk VR, a 360º immersive viewing experience that lets you look around a daily video.
