Performance Result
Wow… The 3D experience is so great. The 3D effect is realistic and you can actually see the characters and objects pop up toward you. Personally, I love to watch 3D movies especially those 3D animations like Big Hero 6, Penguins of Madagascar and so on. You can really see and feel the difference between the VR 3D and normal 3D mode. That’s the true 3D effect. And scream and run like hell in movie like Jurassic World where dinosaurs really pop out right in front of you. Pair with your favourite earphones, Selestech VR Glasses will turn into your private 3D cinema.
Besides movies, there are lot of interesting VR games in the market too. Some of them will make you feel like you are sitting and enjoy the ride actually in Roller Coaster VR. Enjoy all the stars and galaxies in Cosmic Roller Coaster. Enjoy both VR and AR with GermBuster VR Cardboard. And be a doctor in InMind VR to save the brain. Lastly, be very terrified in Insidious Chapter 3: Into the Further VR. Bluetooth controller will be handy for those games that require it like Shadowgun VR. Hopefully, the actual gameplay version will come out soon. Can’t wait for it.
Be sure to get 360° swivel chair and make sure that your smartphone has gyroscope support in order to get the best 3D VR experience especially in VR games and apps. 3D movies do not require gyroscope. As long as it supports Half Side-by-Side (SBS) mode, you can watch it with VR glasses. There are lots of VR contents nowadays, just search for ‘VR games’ in Play Store and ‘VR video’ in YouTube will do. Or google for ‘half sbs movie’ to find out which movie has VR glasses support. For example, the VR games and movies will split into two screens like below. Do try out GameSir G4s gamepad too (read GameSir G4s Review to know more).
Bigger screen does not mean better. DPI of the screen is the key factor here. Galaxy S4 with smaller screen provides better experience than Galaxy Note 3 with bigger screen due to bigger DPI value. Yes, you can see bigger pixels on Note 3 than S4. By the way, there is a much more important factor to mention. No spectacles. Yes, you can’t wear spectacles with this VR glasses. Take me as example, I am wearing glasses everyday. Not an issue to see VR content without spectacles, nearsightedness does not affect it at all. However, astigmatism does. I have astigmatism on my left eye so left channel is not so clear unless I wear contact lens. Do take note on this…
