Reddit reviews FIVESUNG Plastic Version Google Cardboard 3D VR Complete Kit Virtual Reality Glasses Headset for Real HD 3d Experience, Black

I just ordered one - it should be delivered 10-20 days (i guess from China). I'll be sure to post a review. So far, I have tried

v1, v2,

The best lens quality was in the v1 and v2s. V1 lenses show a smaller part of your phone, but because they are deeper than v2, this also means that the focus plane is level. For v2, while the lenses are bigger, the depth of the box is a bit too small, and forces your eyes to focus not at infinity, but at about a 2 foot depth (which is bad for your eyes for a long time).

If anyone has any questions about the headsets i've tried, let me know and I'll answer here.

btw, v2's button >> v1's magnet.

Linking to lists is kind of useless, because a) you don't know if everybody will even get the same list, and b) even if the list is the same, it contains several viewers, most of them several times with different names. Not a good idea and probably the reason for the downvotes.

If you bought the one I see at the end of the list or the one above it, you have a Ritech 3D with adjustable IPD and miserable FoV (I have one), pretty much the worst FoV of the plastic ones.

If you bought this one with adjustable IPD and eye-lens distance, you payed for a ColorCross which has a slightly better, but still miserable FoV and is rather uncomfortable (I have another one with the same lenses).

Both the ColorCross and the Ritech 3D are available for less and have been discussed here several times, as has been pretty much every other plastic HMD available below USD 60. They are all basically unsuitable for VR, as they have a FoV of about 55° or even less, while even the cheapest Cardboard has about 80° with a large phone. You'll see 3D in the plastic ones and they are good (and designed) for 3D movies, but VR looks like watching a world through binoculars, you won't get immersion, it doesn't feel real.

I bought this one for my Xperia Z3 (5.15in screen) because it was the highest rated on Amazon at the time. It's way better than the free Volvo cardboard I had before, but not sure how that compares to I Am Cardboard.

I see a lot of complaints about reduced FOV on the plastic ones, but the Volvo cardboard was zoomed so tight that you don't even come close to seeing the borders of your phone, so there are a ton of wasted pixels, and everything looks like shit. The FOV on the plastic pair is almost perfect. It's wide enough that moving my eyes to the extreme left and right, I can just barely look past the screen borders at the far sides with the center of my vision. The image is also way clearer as a result.

You might want to re-read my previous reply. edit: seems you did.

Here's another vid with elite dangerous:

Keep in mind, there are multiple apps for the mobile device as well as other software for your pc involved. Some work better than others, as do certain mobiles too.

Still it won't be perfect, but will certainly be good enough for most things.

I for one have purchased something like (feel it's important to have adjustable lenses):

Once I receive it and set it up (which will likely take weeks as I don't have much free time lately) I'll be using this with my Track IR until I get the consumer version of Oculus (so my mobile device will only be streaming).

1st, I'll say that I'm a big fan of the Cardboard.
Have you looked into the ColorCross? It's a sturdier option than Cardboard. It seems to go for about $40.
.
If you're handy though, I'd suggest purchasing the components and some foam board and making your own. It's very easy to do and will last longer.

You can pick up jeweler's loupes in triplets like these
(1.5inch = 38mm)
I have a "Cardboard" that I made with these and I'm very happy with it.

I had a DodoCase before. It was ok, but like mptp said, the larger lenses are quite nice.

I have tried this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MHSPNH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Which nearly holds it but with my Spigen case it doesn't. Also no magnetic switch is bullshit.

I've also tried this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJPS6VO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Which holds it beautifully and has a headstrap and magnetic switch but didn't come with the center panel to separate the two sides from each eye and for some reason I get double vision with it. Just can't get the rollercoaster tracks to line up no matter how crosse-eyed/strained I get.

Regular google cardboard worked the best but the flap wouldn't close around it and it had no headstrap.

I'm just hoping google offers a plastic version with a magnetic switch and headstrap and then pairs it with their bluetooth controller in the play store. #TakeMyMoney

Its on Amazon

I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MHSPNH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i didn't liked. So i was thinking to take this one http://www.durovis.com/dive.html. Has any body tried this product with the nexus 5 ? By the way i tried this one too http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LZGBU3O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and cardboard sucks.

You might also like the ColorCross.

But that extra $1.89 for it really makes the $40 Archos about 0.04725% more appealing.

Google Cardboard is a pretty sick tech demo, but its not something I want to use for as long as I want to play ED haha. That link actually details setup for ED specifically, and it most certainly includes headtracking! Although mine slowly drifts to the left, which is pretty annoying. You can actually use the application to stream anything, and it can do "fake 3d" so you can take any random media file and play it on a virtualized big screen.

If you're interested in VR and have a decent phone, check it out. You can get a variety of headsets that accomplish the same thing, or make your own out of cardboard! They have some nice ones that have headstraps and everything though. Well worth a couple bucks to get a taste of VR. I'm so very tempted to get a rift, but I'm trying to wait for the consumer version. The app is free to try it out, but it'll stop after 10 minutes unless you pay for the full version ($6 and change... worth it again.) I'll warn you though, text is basically unreadable and I haven't quite gotten the aspect ratio right, but these things are correctable. I'm using a nexus 4 with it, but I'm sure its better on newer phones with higher resolutions.

I've found some print-outs (like this one), but I'm a fan of tailoring it to my own needs. I may take a look for ideas though.
