  • In the wake of Google Cardboard and Daydream, several budget VR headsets have emerged in the mobile VR gaming space. One of the more compelling is the VR Box 2.0 headset, which works with both iOS and Android. This is very much a cheap VR headset, but does it offer good value for money? Is it a good VR headset for kids? How about the VR curious? Finder’s technology expert Chris Stead puts it through its paces in his VR Box 2.0 review.

    • @motivatedtravel
      @motivatedtravel  2 роки тому +2

      Hi GrimReaper - they don't really compare at all to be honest. This is a very cheap headset that uses your phone as the CPU and screen. The Index and Valve are expensive headsets that have their own screens and use your PC/laptop to power the experiences.
      In short, this give a taste of VR, whereas the more expensive headsets offer true VR.

    Quick question brother, can you use these even if you were to just watch a regular video or play a normal game? Without the use of a vr app?

    • @motivatedtravel
      @motivatedtravel  Рік тому +1

      Hi Brock, I believe you can, but I suspect it's not the best experience as the lens is set up as if you are watching two screens at once (one for each eye) so you might not get the adjustments as good as just looking at the phone normally. You also can't reach the touchscreen once it is in the headset, so it's hard to interact with the program if i9t isn't working with the controller properly.

    I am looking for a cheap headset to try out for work purposes.
    Be able to use office or google docs. If I use it for longer than a day then maybe invest in the more expensive ones. Any suggestions?

    • @motivatedtravel
      @motivatedtravel  3 місяці тому +1

      You're pretty much stepping up from this kind of Google Cardboard inspired setups, to your Oculus Quest and HTC Cosmos level (just under $1000). Then another $1000 from there up to the premium headset range.
      So for Office and Google, hard to see it worth spending that kind of money. I'm just not too sure how the VR experiences for those apps go on a phone. If they work well, then something like VR Box 2.0 will give you a taste of what's possible for cheap.

    Hi All ,
    Just looking for the cheapest VR headset to use "fly" mode on Google Earth . ( meaning , just flying around 3D cities or places around Earth ) .
    Used to do it with the first gen Google Cardboard with the little magnetic gizmo on the side years ago ,,,, does Cardboard have a newer unit to do this ,,,, or do you HAVE to have a VR headset WITH a handheld controller to "fly" on Goggle Earth ?
    Any help appreciated .

    • @motivatedtravel
      @motivatedtravel  Рік тому +1

      Hi Kaa, sorry I missed your message when you posted it. There is no Google Cardboard (or Google Dardream) anymore. Headsets like this one rose to fill the space. Usually you don't need a controller as you can just move your head to look and the motion-tracking in your phone understands the movement.

      You can't get Google Cardboard here in Australia any more, so can't do a direct comparison. Needles to say, VR Box 2.0 would seem to be the better option for me looking at the two side-by-side.
