VIRTUAL REALITY
SLIP INTO OTHER WORLDS WITH THESE IMMERSIVE VR HEADSETS
BlitzWolf BW-VR3 ($19.99-$24.99) This exceptionally comfortable headset features a unique, binocular-like lens adjusting system, whereby you twist manual dials to adjust the focus of the internal lenses (a great feature for anyone who wears glasses). While the headset is relatively lightweight and wellpadded, the latch and clamp in the front compartment feel a tad flimsy, so you should handle with care. Notably, a detachable front door panel allows users to take advantage of AR apps as well.
Dodo Smartvr ($39.95) This miniature, compact, and totally portable virtual reality viewer fits discreetly in your pocket or personal carryall. Its sturdy components fold down to the size of an iPhone SE. The Smartvr holds your iPhone securely in clamp slots and has a faceplate with a notch that rests on your nose. While the absence of a head strap means you have to use your hands to hold the viewer in place, the added portability makes this innovative gadget one of our favorite options for consuming VR content on the go.
Veer ($8.99–$9.99) This basic cardboard viewer won't set you back much financially and offers a great way to get your feet wet with VR. The Veer is lightweight, easy to assemble, and relatively sturdy. A velcro latch on the door encloses your smartphone and an adjustable elastic headband keeps the headset in place as you twirl around your living room.
Zeiss VR One Plus ($64.99-$99.99) Featuring Zeiss's world-renowned premium optics, the VR One Plus serves up your content in its crispest form and at the highest resolution possible. The headset provides sufficient space to accommodate eyeglasses (a big plus indeed) and includes a universal smartphone tray that accepts iPhones with display sizes ranging from 4.7–5.5 inches. The VR One Plus is a stylish and modern affair, complete with ventilation ports, a clear front shield to allow for use with AR apps, a comfortable head strap, and plush foam internal padding.
