Has anyone here tried Google Cardboard and Gear VR? How do they compare?
I got cardboard out of curiosity and while I expected it to be low res, I had no idea the viewable area would be so small and square. This ruined the experience far more than the resolution for me. By no means was my peripheral vision even remotely challenged.
I don't think people really understand until they've tried it. I have had lots of people quite indifferent to it, then afterwards are looking up if they can get one for their phone...
I see this posted an awful lot, but I never hear people's attempts to describe what's it's actually like, emotionally. It's always the pixels, the FoV, the sounds, the resolution, or the comfort. Never the degree of immersion.
Although I accept that the latter is largely a function of the former, I want to hear reviews focus on it more than the technical aspects since in my view, that's the most important part.
