Virtual Reality

Introduction

Welcome to CamSoda's Live Virtual Reality Interactive Experience.

• When: Every Wed at 9pm ET, starting December 16th.
• Where: http://www.camsoda.com/virtualreality

You do not need any special hardware to experience Virtual Reality within a web browser. You can spin the view around in 360 degrees.

For a more immersive experience you can purchase a Virtual Reality headset, Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear.

Google Cardboard is the least expensive at about $20 and pairs with your smartphone to create an awesome immersive experience for less than the cost of a hair cut.

Hardware

A Virtual Reality Headset takes VR to the next level and it does not need to break the bank.

• Google Cardboard is the least expensive option with a huge selection under $30.
  • Our favorite is VIEW-MASTER by Mattel.
  • View All Google Cardboard headsets
• Samsung Gear is a great headset but you need to have a Samsung phone.
• Oculus Rift is amazing, but it's not for sale. Only a lucky few have it.
