Hey /g/, I've been to this tech expo and they had a ton of VR setups to try out and I got kinda hooked and just had a blast checking out all the demos on different hardware. So now I want to get my feet wet and mess around with the VR stuff a little. I took home a couple of the cardboard cutout DIY VR headsets to put my phone in but found out my phone doesn't even happen to have a gyroscope sensor so that won't work.
So I'm looking for kind of the cheapest way to experience VR in a way that's not completely crap, like, I was thinking get a used phone with a-okay ish resolution and put it in one of the cheapo plastic headsets. And I'm looking for the sweetspot where I'm not spending ludicrously much money but not end up with a completely unenjoyable experience. Got any reccomendations?
I don't see how people buy these 600+ bucks headsets. That's just too deep of a plunge for me.
Do you think a 1920*1080 device will do, or should I be looking at 2560*1440 phones?
