VR Virgin

[Scarabus]

Hello,
I'm a VR virgin & looking to dip my toe in, so to speak.
I thought I'd try a low £s option firstly.
I've seen the VR Gear is well cheap & could be the gateway to something more
expensive.
I have a Samsung S20fe.
What would be a good entry level option to try.
Thanks,
S.

I do not know. I too am a VR newbie.

Gear VR is obsolete. Samsung ended their agreement with Oculus to operate the Gear VR environment, so good luck getting it to work.

I'm quite upset about it, too. I have the Gear 360 VR camera and it's abandonware. What's worse is the stupid thing write-protected the 400 GB microSD card I had in it: I can't find any trick to remove that!

you picked a bad time to get into vr headsets.

unless you want to spend a ton of money on super nice headsets, cardboard is your cheapest option.

or get a used Oculus quest 2:

i have the Oculus Go and i love it. you do not need a phone and it works great. it is sad to know that the unit is now hard to get. maybe you might find it used somewhere.

The Oculus quest 2 is pretty decent I have one, PlayStation VR is cool too.

i just bought one for myseelf as a xmas present from me.....LOL

its way better than the Go. right now i'm just getting my feet wet with it. but i plan on doing some sideloading so that i can play some steam vr games and such.....kind of doing research on it right now.

i'm also thinking of getting a desktop(not a gaming one) where i can keep it running so that o can play pcc vr games thru the Quest 2.
