The presence of Google Cardboard indeed makes a VR headset
can be tried by everyone because this headset is offered in low price, only
about $ 20.
However, Google Cardboard has a very fragile frame and less
practical. And for that, a device called Merge VR Goggles tries to provide a VR
headset that can be obtained in a low price but with a more solid and flexible
frame.
The main uniqueness of Merge VR Goggles is its material. The
entire frame is made of a foam material that's elastic, soft and gentle. So in
addition to not fall apart when you put it into the bag, it is also comfortable
to wear because this headset will follow the contour of user's face.
Merge VR Goggles is compatible with Android smartphones or
iPhone that are produced in the last two years. A pair of lenses can be
adjusted, there is also a special ventilation to prevent the lenses fogged and
ruin your virtual experience. The strap wraps around the head, and there is
also an optional strap that can be mounted on the top.
Merge VR Goggles operates by using a remote that's equipped
with joystick. This headset doesn't require a specific application; most of the
VR contents are available on the App Store and Google Play. Nevertheless, Merge
VR Goggles will also be accompanied by an application which will provide
curated VR contents.
Currently the Merge VR Goggles has been sold through Amazon.
The price in the pre-order time is offered at $ 79 - more expensive than
Cardboard, but it’s much more flexible and resilient.
