Good to know because for $30 I was just getting ready to buy the Merge to play with.

Yeah there isn’t any specific “these will work” or “these won’t work” when it comes to the Merge and eyeglasses but I just could not get them to fit together. Then again maybe different users will have different experiences.

I just realized that I actually have a Legendary Pictures-branded Google Cardboard headset that was just tucked away in a drawer from Comic-Con. Just downloaded the Cardboard VR app and will be trying it out later. Pretty low on comfort, but the price (free) is right!

It might be wise to note here that NOT all glasses are created equal. Last night I was using my Daydream and it was the first time with my new glasses. It was NOT a good fit, BUT my old glasses are fine.

I'm still tempted to get a Merge.... I only use my glasses for distance, so I'm not sure what would be best! I have two pairs so that might help too!

This is true. I have fairly large frames.

Do it! Can’t go wrong for the $35 purple model on Amazon.

I have yet to jump into the world of VR. But thinking about it. It's good to see here what's cool and what's not.

In my opinion it has a lot of potential but tracking eyes movement is the necessary step to make most people don’t feeling sick after a few minutes of use.

I never experienced that dizziness and I’m enjoying but I know more than one that can’t say so.

New king for me and it works with any phone EVEN a flip phone! That's because it doesn't require a phone!!!!! The Oculus Go! Best 250 (I got the high capacity one) I ever spent!
