truth is it's hard to keep up, since everybody is making headmounts these days There are actually a few more options on this price range, but I can't remember. The Homido is limited on max screen size (it will fit bigger phones, but not use the whole screen) while the VR One is, at least for now, only compatible with Galaxy S5 (some people have adapted the provided tray to fit their phones, but that's a DIY that might not always work).
I've used the last two, and they are on a different level, quality wise. Then if you want to go premium, you can check the Durovis Dive, the Homido or the VR One. The main issue with the chinese models I've tried is that immersion level tends to be lower (due to lower FOV), but on the other hand you might get better image quality (less screen door effect, for example). Might be good to search on Amazon for the reviews. There's the xiaozhai, which is more comfortable (ColorCross uses rubber instead of foam).Īs I say, plenty of unbranded variations, so probably newer models work better.
ColorCross is popular, because it was one of the first ones. There are quite a few of those available (with new variations popping up every week), so it's hard to keep track of them all. If we consider price as a starting criteria, some Google Cardboard clone will do for short sessions (not very comfy) and will only set you back about 10-20$ (but get one with straps!).įor a little more, you can go plastic (using good foam protection) with a chinese unit. You can find more details on usage, performance tips and the download links on my site: If you go ahead, set it up to emulate TrackIR and run the game windowed in a 4:3 resolution to activate the Fake3D mode (might work with TriDef or Vireio for full depth 3D, but I haven't tested). But don't take my word for it, there's a free test version available. In any case, I have used it with LFS and the virtual reality experience is quite enjoyable. It does have its limitations, but I know it can be much better!
When I started with my first proof of concept I wasn't sure it would work but, as I kept improving it I realised that it can be quite good. Combine it with a headset like Google Cardboard, VR One, Homindo or some cheap chinese one, and you've got yourself an affordable VR system! I wanted a low cost alternative to (still unavailable) VR systems like Vive or Rift, so I started developing a software solution that uses your own smartphone for tracking and display. I guess, that's kind of obvious since I'm here, but it is relevant as that's the reason I created Trinus VR. well, I actually like sims in general, specially flight sims. I'm new here so I'll briefly introduce myself.
