Virtual reality may still be far from being consumed by the masses but there is certainly a market for it. Well, it is still small since only geeks and a few early adopters are willing to shell out huge amount of money for a VR gear. Both the Saamsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift are still expensive. Google has introduced a cheaper alternative in the form of the Google Cardboard but it still hasn’t picked up. MergeVR hopes to enter the game and finally make a mark in the industry by announcing the MergeVR Goggles and the VR Motion Controller.
The MergeVR Goggles is a pair of virtual reality goggles that works with Android. Unlike the Samsung Gear VR that only works with a Galaxy Note 4, the MergeVR Goggles are compatible with most Android-powered smartphones. Each pair can also be used with a phablet because it can take larger sized devices as well. According to MergeVR, the VR Goggles are very comfortable.
Goggles are also compatible with most virtual reality apps and 360-degree videos on Google Play. There are not many choices but the category is already expanding. The number of VR developers are still small but we’re hoping more will jump into the bandwagon as soon as these VR Goggles ship to potential buyers.
Anything is possible now with virtual reality. Anyone can fly through space, watch their favorite musicians right in their living room, or explore fantasy worlds. One can even connect with a loved one far away just like how the Samsung Gear VR helped a father see birth of his child virtually. Technology may still be in its early stages but the possibilities are endless.
MergeVR Goggles are very much different from all the other virtual reality products. Goggles are made from a durable and soft flexible foam. It can fit on anyone’s face and it’s very handy you can bring it anywhere. VR headsets or goggles don’t have to be heavy, expensive, or fragile. Merge Labs here proves that this certain technology is ready for public consumption.
There is also the VR motion controller known as the “MergeVR Controller”. It features 8 buttons, a thumbstick, and a 9-axis motion sensor. It works as a controller unit to the he MergeVR Goggles especially when you’re playing VR games.
The arrival of the two, the VR Goggles and the VR Conroller, brings virtual reality experience to millions of smartphone users. Each product is affordable at $129.
