I have been following the VR technology very closely since the arrival of Google cardboard. Back in the 90s I experienced VR when they brought a giant set into my college's technology fair. However, the kind of experiences that can be achieved now even with an inexpensive cardboard set put that memory to shame. As soon as I got my Samsung Note 5 I got myself a Gear VR, and that was a game changer especially since they added the remote controller. I highly recommend for people to want to dip their toe into the VR pool to try the phone based solutions. I believe that VR is no longer just a fad.
