VR

For only 30 dollars, the Black NFC Google Cardboard Forever (TM) Virtual Reality (VR) headset will transport you anywhere you want to go, this world, another, even a different dimension! We just bought a pair on Amazon while on the waiting list for the much acclaimed Occulus Rift. VR is unlike anything you've ever experienced. It actually feels as though you are really there. Wherever there is. 

Last night, I walked the streets of Paris, took a ride on a roller coaster (got a bit queasy), and was a character from Insididous 3 (night terrors ensued). Incredible to think of how this technology could change our lives. Training and simulation applications alone will shorten the learning curve for so many.  In addition to the educational benefits, VR makes the impossible possible. My evening plans involve watching last night's Walking Dead and battling some virtual zombies myself. Another amazing benefit is tourism and accessibility. If this technology was available when my mosom (grandfather) was alive, he would have loved the experience. 

The cardboard headset is extremely easy to construct. Once complete it holds your iPhone or Samsung that you use to enter the virtual realm. There are a bunch of VR apps on iTunes for you to experience - we only tried a few but are stocking up. There are new VR apps posted every day. 

Here is a quick video of my husband trying out the new device. ​It's almost more entertaining to watch someone in VR land than being in it yourself. Enjoy!
