Homido Mini Virtual Reality Glasses for Smartphone Foldable VR Headset Compliant with iPhone & Android Cell Phone Vr Games and 3D Movies

I own several Google Cardboard viewers. My Homido Mini just arrived and I am pleasantly surprised at just how much of the immersion of the Google Cardboard experience this device preserves. Although this device does not include a push button, touching the screen while I keep holding the device to my eyes works fine, and was not very disruptive to the experience. I think that a big part of preserving the immersiveness is that the optical paths are tight enough so that, with my Nexus 6, if I hold the viewer normally, I can't look past the edges of my cell phone screen, at least if I'm looking through the lenses. However, if I look far enough to the side, I can see along a path from my eye that does not go through the lens, although I can hold my hands in a manner that avoids most of that. I am thinking about wrapping the eyepiece rim with electrical tape to make a shroud from the lenses toward my eyes to reduce that optical path even more. I have not tried this device in a social setting yet (since mine just arrived), but I suspect that it is probably less isolating than a regular Google Cardboard viewer, because your friends should be able to get a glimpse from the side to get an idea of what you are viewing. I recommend this product as a second Google Cardboard reader, one that you can carry around to fulfill your civic duty to introduce everyone who crosses your path to Google Cardboard. I look forward to carrying this in my work bag, the glove compartment of my card, or a pocket. However, even though I give this product five stars, I also want to recommend that every Google Cardboard fan should also have a more conventional Google Cardboard viewer (that is, with the shroud that covers your eyes and ideally with an over-the-head headband to improve enjoyment of the longer viewing experiences, such as that tour of the planets application). Although the price that this device pays for portability is less than I expected, I am sure I will still prefer to use a conventional Google Cardboard viewer when I am at home.

I purchased these to demo 3D and VR work I have done. They clip on to your phone and provide a reasonable experience. Pros: - Super compact. Great to carry with you at all times when trying to network or even to an interview to show off your work. - You can hold your phone closer or further from your face with no issues, helps account for different eyes. - You can easily access the screen, unlike with a headset. You can still touch the center portion that google cardboard uses as a button. I actually prefer this, it's very quick a versatile. Cons: - Build quality. I bought one to try and it was great. I bought a few more to give out and found the lenses were not properly glued in, one was scratched. You'll have to do a little work to fix them up. - Doesn't come with a bag or anything. basically just wrapped in crinkly plastic. - Doesn't block out light or surroundings. Nothing to be done about this and I think the portability trade off is worth it. I really like these and just wish the build quality was better. It seems really hit or miss, even though I bought them all from the same seller.

The distance between the lenses are NOT adjustable. The fixed distance would probably be fine for a child, but not for most adults as the distance between right and left lenses is too small for an average adult, and it makes stereo viewing impossible. Also the image is only sharp if your pupils are over the exact center of the lens. Also the Google Cardboard app, that the included instructions give you a QR code to download, doesn't allow you to view any images stored on your phone, with no help how to do so. You have to search for a viewing app that works with SBS (Side By Side) images - but even after finding the best available app you still have the distance between lenses issue. This product is useless and a huge disappointment.

Excellent product. Works exactly how I figured and I am 46yrs old and fits my eyes perfectly. Its attached to my phone now as I am typing as it folds down then when u watch a vr video u just pull one of the sides and opens out for viewing.

These are just fantastic! So portable, so easy to use. I don't even have to take my phone out of it's case (that's huge for me) - the clip slide right between my cards (I use a Silk case). I can check out results of my 360 photos without a lot of hassle, and can easily carry these anywhere to 'preview' the VR experience for my friends. The focal length (I'm probably using the wrong term here), isn't right, though. I have to hold my eyes about a half-inch away from the glasses to be able to see clearly. Still, I'd recommend unreservedly. a great value.

These work great!!

The folding action is great. I love the gearing used to fold both sides at the same time. The construction leaves something to be desired. I had to superglue one of the lens panels back into the frame. The other one will eventually need it, too. The single-clip holds fairly tight, but is very easy to rotate, which causes the image to go out of alignment. This is easy to fix if you're used to it, but if you're handing it around to people who are new to stereo viewers, they'll likely bump it and then not know what to do, they'll just get double vision and think your new toy sucks. The lenses provide a surprisingly large field of view. They were also very, very clear at first, but they are also very, very susceptible to scratching, and the Homido Mini does not come with any kind of case or bag. For something that is meant to be kept in the pocket so you have it at all times, lacking some form of lens protection is a huge oversight. So ultimately, I can't recommend buying the Homido Mini, unless you have a spare bag laying around to keep it in, to keep in your pocket.

Don't buy these are so difficult to use you need to hold the phone in the perfect position just to see the images let alone to try and get an optimum experience, they make hand free equipment for this exact reason another thing having no focal adjustments mean the images that you can see if you lucky will be blurry. Nice try though
