Saw the demonstration video of this on Saturday, Note 4 plugs in the front to make a 96 degree occulus rift headset.


Now that IS a proper GAME changer!

The potential is pretty endless, utilising the camera to give night vision, wearable binoculars, gaming headset or just an awesome cinema.

Would you not feel like a colossal ***** with a phone strapped to your face like that?

I mean, smart watches are bad but that takes it to a new level (a real game changer eh).

I'd stop short of walking down the street in it.!

Clearly more kudos than wearing an apple watch or driving an audi however

Here's the same thing for a lot less money.

When will you learn, there is every likelihood that something like this will be common place in the not too distant future. That means apple will be following the curve of development.

Since 2008/9 apple has been playing catch up in consumer electronics.

There will be a split in electronics, neck beards walking down the road wearing these and normal people.

Now, Glass, Glass I'm into. Can't wait till they support iOS.

Game changer of course, it's primary use will be gaming

I can honestly think of nothing dumber than walking down the street in one, except maybe suggesting that I might?

Clearly it is for indoor use or select situational outdoor use.

Jack is mocking now, like he mocked huge phones which Apple didn't make.

Note how he jumped in and bought an iphone 6+ as soon as they were announced, so take it as read as soon as they do one for the iphone 8+ he will of course buy one.

Man thats going to wreck peoples eye sight, what a ruck of rubbish

Even sat in the middle of your living room it'll still look daft

As for game changing, it's really not. The original Rift headset was a game changer, this is just a gimmick.

Definitely mocking, mocking myself with a paving slab on the side of my head just as I'd mock anyone else.

I went and held a Note 5 today, it's big, but not as big as I thought, Android is still crap though and the Note looked like an old iPhone.
