RE: VR Head set



HI,
thanks for the quick reply.
It’s certainly reasonably priced. I can't find the link now, but I remember seeing a plastic dome that they projected VR spherical panoramas onto. It was like a huge umbrella. This is a much better option. I remember thinking the dome might have a good effect but I can't imagine anyone buying one to pop over their heads while browsing VRmag. This on the other hand would be fine, I'd happily plug one into the PC and leave it next to the headphones, USB TV card and webcam!

I would be very interested if anyone could get one to work for this application.

Thanks.
