Check it out. For 25 usd you can experience and develop VR programs.

Also, check the play store for Google cardboard programs. They are free and there's a decent selection of games and demos.

What phone do you have? I think it's similar or the same as my wife's phone so let me know how it works and then have an excuse to steal my wife's phone to play with (o:

Pretty cool.

There's one company that'll hate this though. They were/are making smartphone powered VR as well. Spacing on the name though.
