Stealth VR have made a few headsets and this new one is an affordable HMD for the masses. The best model though is the VR 200 which we have tried and tested and is also available at Smyths Toys and is getting good feedback via questions in here to us..
The VR50 is available in a selection of colours too which would suit those with a colour preference and it is also good to see they are not sticking to the traditional Black and White options we tend to see but on a whole many are taking the same route offering more colour choice. This design to is a more generic design and we have seen similar before but we will find out soon as we have several headsets on the way.
The VR50 is the perfect way to introduce yourself to Mobile VR. A removable tray holds your phone in place while 35mm lenses allow you to immerse fully in your chosen virtual experience. A sliding front makes the VR50 AR compatible by providing access to your phone’s camera.

The Cygnett VR headset enables you to feel you really are part of the environment like never before with a full 360° viewing angle, whether you’re feeling the rush of adrenalin skiing down the slopes of a black run or the thrill of plummeting from 12,000ft with only a parachute on your back.

Through the new Gateway VR Headset you will also be able to access your phone files, photos and videos through the linked App like never before.

A few months ago we where given the opportunity to try out the all new Stealth VR headset and to date it has not let me down as we still use it testing VR apps alongside our big collection of HMDs and Google Cardboard VR viewers. There is a wide variety of HMDs out there today and having many here in house this one in particular is quite good and very comfortable…
“Following a hugely positive reception to our inaugural product – the VR100 – we have now set our sights on becoming a major player in the Mobile VR arena. At this early juncture, global sales of the VR100 have exceeded all expectations. As well as capturing the imagination of consumers in the UK and key EU territories, the VR100 has taken the Japanese market by storm – particularly in major Electronic Stores such as Yodabashi and Bic Camera. Our unique combination of product and online community support has proved crucial to establishing our brand as one of the leading lights in Mobile VR.”

What do you think of this app folks do let us know and dont be shy with the comments either…
Sounds a bit futuristic but yes its true… Swedish pharmacy Apotek Hjärtat has launched an app to assist people with pain relief, Now before you get too exited it is not there to replace traditional cures but places you in an immersive environment to to distract you from pain although the environment is somewhat cartoonish.. You will see what I mean when you try it out but yes its immersive… The app is available on Oculus Rift,Gear VR and Android.
This app includes a beautiful stylised camping environment where one can interact with nature and experience the changes from sun to rain and day to night. Guided relaxation and soothing music is optional. Every unique experience is highly individual. To select items you just hover over items are you would normally do and watch what happens then.. It is somewhat a soothing experience but nonetheless a good idea..
Created as a joint venture between Sweden’s largest private pharmacy, Apotek Hjärtat (who will use it in selected clinics) and VR therapy startup Mimerse, Happy Place was built upon the research findings indicating VR as a possible tool in mitigating pain.

If you own or perhaps thinking of buying the Playstation VR one thing you will need to do is keep it in check. Like any new toy that comes into my house people come around and with VR HMDs that is no different they all suffer from the same issues with long periods of use which is sweat and fogging and when you have around ten nosey heads trying it out at a time you will soon understand yourself if you have not already when you buy such a unit..
Sony have released some tips and a video on how to maintain your PSVR headset and you perhaps should take note on what they have to say because you will experience the mentioned issues above and since I have got mine I have already racked up some hours with the recent games I have purchased for the headset.
