Kane99 Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Years ago I remember getting one of those VR headsets you can use with your phone. It was just a cheap plastic thing with lenses to utilize on your smartphone, but honestly they never seemed to work all that well. I finally upgraded to a somewhat newer smartphone and I was curious if it's even worth trying to use VR on mobile? Is there any apps I can use that will make it like VR? I kinda want to try playing some games in VR, but I have no clue how it'd go for most mobile games. Or is it pointless to do VR with smartphones?
The Blackangel Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Are there any games you can play on your phone with the headsets? I always thought they were for watching movies and to avoid distractions.

I always thought they were for watching movies and to avoid distractions. Just check the android play store. Almost every AAA brand these days is moving slowly on mobile ecosystem. e.g. Square Enix has their games on it. And recently even Alien franchise moved there too.
killamch89 Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I'm going to say that I think in its current form, VR headsets for mobile phones is pretty useless...I did hear that some people use it to watch porn but I don't watch porn either so...
Head_Hunter Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I wouldn't try that either, I love staying off pornographic shows, I wouldn't go Mobile VR for porn, I rather avoid it.

Porn Addiction is a pretty terrible one but I hardly hear anyone say anything about it. A kid actually died from beating his meat too much...

Nope - it's everywhere and once they get roped in, it's normally a wrap unless you make a conscious decision to address the issue.
Clasher Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 I didn't even realize there is a VR headset available you can use for videogaming on mobile. Well I would check it out and if it's worth it I might go ahead and try one for myself.
Empire Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Makes you wonder if there's a fundamental barrier between gaming-for-relaxation and VR. I think about a hypothetical future with full-body haptic suits and visual implants and think "that seems like an awful lot of work just to play a game. Others will think so anyway.

That's a great point! about the future of VR..I have seems some cool apps like Google Cardboard that are really offering some decent experiences.

I agree with you on that. I understand very well that the mobile VR is definitely for simple experiences, but it's not really ideal for intense gaming.
