VR is the thing this year with headset being the main player,however VR idea is different where the user will lie on a platform and then use a VR headset so it may be a cumbersome piece to have in your house unless you have the room and the cost is another thing which is not yet known..This does look like a great idea offering a real immersive experience but looking a what is required to use it it will be limited audience to some extent,as it is VR content is still lacking despite the big push for it..
Max Rheiner who is an artist and software developer from Switzerland says The virtual reality simulator can stimulate the senses of the user. This gives rise to a feeling of one flying in the sky. He went on to say that people who wish to fly can do so with no training at all. The experience of flying is based on dreams that people have of experiencing as they fly.

Screen Hero is a premium tempered glass screen solution for all smart mobile devices. It is made by heating the glass and then cooling it very quickly. This type of glass breaks differently than normal glass, creating more rounded edges of glass pieces instead of jagged shards that regular glass creates. A tempered glass protector is a multi-layered screen protector. It has a bottom layer of absorbent silicon and an optically clear adhesive tempered glass layer on top of that. The final layer is an oleophobic coating which is a layer that is waterproof and mark proof. Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than normal glass.

Today we got an unusual call and sms on Viber and the name “Mark” just appeared on my handset. These are not new to be honest but its best to keep people informed of what activity is doing the rounds,the message also contained some tempting information to earn money from home with a link attached,As per norm just ignore and delete and block the number from within the application itself. These kind of messages come do some rounds and then vanish after a while. The number attached to this is said to originate in Russia,Just be vigilant and ignore any of these kind of sms,calls and text,mostly they are there tempting you to call back which ends up with the user calling back some kind of premium service and costing you money..
See images below for the information..
Payoutsure is just a shitty video leading you to believe you will make millions,stating they have featured on several sites yet no links to prove it,see the top of the image,Sky and CNN and so on..
VR is the in thing this year and with more options available to the consumer and getting cheaper too,though its fair to say you get what you pay for..
If you dont fancy shedding out hundreds of your hard earned euros to experience VR you can get it cheap,options such as Google cardboard is one way to test it out but its limited compared to the next best reasonably priced Samsung Gear VR..
Dunnes Stores are now on the bandwagon selling a VR Headset for €29.99 This is not a well know name and there is multiple offerings of similar available on the web and some similar to this only with a different name.. You will not get the same feeling of immersion here as you would with options like Gear VR or HTC Vive but for the money its worth a shot and will give an idea,For now content still lacks too but that will change in the coming months.Also worth noting is that these are not device specific and cover a wide range of phones too.
