• I just want smartphone VR, not planning to buy a dedicated headset, just want to make use of what already exists and have wanted to try doing a VR desktop for a while using a phone

    apparently there are problems with smartphone VR… but I presume them to be surmountable and that they’re just trying to sell unnecessary VR hardware instead as a kind of gimmicky business move

    • Yeah that’s not happening. The tech differences add up to a horrid VR experience. Google cardboard was exactly this project, but it was burned because it was just plain bad. Phones aren’t meant to be glued to your face, but VR headsets are built for it specifically and the difference is immense.
