And a lot more pixelated; even compared to Samsung VR and Google Daydream due to the lower resolution of the iPhone.

I had no idea the iphone's resolution was so bad.

I'd definitely look into getting one when Android support becomes available, if that support is flexible enough and not tied to specific high end phones. $100 for this plus ~$100 for a basic 1080p Android phone makes for quite compelling entry level AR that multiple people could share. At that price, I wouldn't mind the limitations.

Well, yeah, but the presumption is that you already own the phone.

I am very interested in the goofy looking thing. There was a device many years ago that refkected the oh be fine, but more VR I think.

Now, for smaller phones to use in these things. Can you imagine wearing these things in a tight space and at work.
