Why spend lots of money on a VR Headset when poundland is selling them for £1!

I had to try them and I have to say not bad for a quid! :smiley:

Can you play 'Gordon's lost his Badger' on it?

Estate agents are really missing a trick. 360 photos on a free viewer (given out at estate agent if you don't have one) would really help sell properties.

wow these were 6 quid at poundland when I previously posted. 1 pound more tempting!

No the 6 quid is a different model. This is only £1 model.

I'm not sure but you can definitely play "Magic Shells" on it, though I wouldn't bother.

Yea, but as its only a quid, not only does galactic gordon not appear in the game, the badger doesn't either.

I don't know if I'm too young or too old (or too out of touch) to get that reference :neutral_face:.

I think Magic Shells is more fitting to the Poundland headset

Why doesn't Alan "sugartits" release these games to the public I bet he'd make a killing with the magic shells game

This years Apprentice candidates have to be some of the worst I've ever seen!
I wonder if it's ever gotten to the final and Alan was like "I don't want to give it to either of them!"

I'm more of a 'Magic Shells' kinda guy...

Lloydinio to Marcoos

FrillyFrog to Marcoos

No, this one only plays 'Magic Shells'.

So you want an overhaul of the way estate agents work just so you get a free one pound vr viewer. why not.

you should have a gander at French estate agents... they don't have a clue

I'm gonna return my son's psvr and buy this for his Christmas present instead, cherching! :laughing:

How essential is a cortroller for vr? Because I might just get this one instead if the £6 one in Home bargin if a controller isn't necessary

tj007 to andyrccar

4 Dec 16 #46

I've just tested it out and the wrong profile is in use - it requires a controller or button to press and this doesn't have it. Trying to work out if another profile will work, as taking the phone out of the box to press the screen isn't going to work very well!

Its in reference to the apprentice this week where they made VR games and one of them was called Gordons lost his badger.

Is this the equivalent of Google Cardboard then where you just put your phone in?
Seen them around but for the price figured it'd be more of a toy than an actual VR experience

I have to say that the difference between a cheap and an expensive VR set seems to be the size of the pixel. On an expensive one, you can see big pixel, and on a cheap one very big pixel. So, do you like pixel?

Couldn't find any in two of their branches. Just the £4 ones. Heat added though.

Some jokers on ebay have bought these and are selling them for £9.99 or best offer.. the nerve to charge £3 for delivery too!! haha!

Just bought 5 of them myself for stocking fillers..

These are essentially akin to Google Cardboard. Worth it at 99p/£1 for a stocking filler, providing the kids have a phone thats compatible with Google Cardboard. The phone goes in at the front of the viewer, and then the cardboard piece folds up behind the phone and is tied at the top with 2 velcro patches. A bit finicky to put together as i found one of the precut slots was not aligned well and one of the cardboard flaps seemed redundant, so a bit of a snip and glue required. Well worth it though.

Are these compatible with Nokia 3210?

Remember to pickup a pair of glasses aswell after a few months use of these VR you will need it :stuck_out_tongue:

How do these compare to an Oculus Rift for example? :smirk:

Ok, you need a magnet to make this work. I've used one from the fridge. To make a selection you rub you phone with the magnet (I kid you not!). https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleCardboard/comments/3qi2jq/vr_headset_with_no_magnet_switch/

As a standalone product, these are not good stocking fillers.

How bizarre, grabbed one myself thinking it might work with the Dualshock 4 but even that doesn't seem to work with the little demo that launches when you launch Google Cardboard. Just tells me to press a nonexistent button instead. It does work with other games like Space Terror VR though.

There's nothing to really hold your phone firmly in place either (mine frequently moves about and in some apps the legibility of text is pretty difficult since it's not all synced up right. Can't get the magnet to select to work properly, and a lot of times the video just resets limiting you from actually looking around. Far from the most immersive either since you can clearly see the real world from all angle even when it's firmly on, just feels more like looking at your TV screen up close!

Still though, for £1 I really can't complain and I'm being far too critical, thanks OP :smiley:
