Hallmark Father's Day Greeting Card Removable Virtual Reality VR Viewer (Jump Into Skydiving Virtual Reality Video)

I was genuinely impressed with this card. It had a pretty cool little video that went to the theme of the card, in my case, surfing. The viewer was easy to assemble and worked great. You were able to look all around - in every direction and it was pretty neat. My dad, the recipient of the card was greatly amused. The cool thing was that after the surfing video, you got to watch pretty much all the other videos from the other cards as well. There was at least 3-5, I think, in total. For a card, it definitely provided a decent amount of entertainment. First for the recipient, and then for everyone present. Overall, I'd say we spend a good 30-40 minutes passing it around. Now, it isn't a game or anything so the novelty wears off once you've watched everything once, maybe twice. But still, how often does a greeting card provide more than a few moments of diversion? I felt it was well worth the $12 or whatever I spent on it, even if nobody ever watches any of it ever again.

Purchased the skydiving and waves for Father's Day cards, and SO glad I did. Everyone in the family spent hours viewing the video that makes you feel just like you're there. Amazing idea and perfectly executed - we had a blast. FYI - it doesn't matter which card you purchase, since if you let the video run, it goes through all of them, hence the reason we all spent hours with this throughout the day. Excellent purchase and so glad I did it!

Absolutely amazing! So much fun and so worth the $1.45 spent. I can't understand how I didn't hear about this before. My kids loved it but I think I enjoyed it more.

You should know... There’s a you tube video that is required to go with this. You put together the special viewer and slide your phone in and watch the video. Very neat. HOWEVER, the card says the video expires end of March 2018, eleven weeks before Father’s Day. Thanks, Hallmark.

My husband LOVED this!! Just wish you had them for more occasions. I got it for our anniversary even though it said Fathers Day.

I can't wait to give this to my kids' dad! He's going to love it. VR in a card!!!

I was so excited to get this Father's Day card for my dad (I purchased the surfing card), and because he's not the most tech-savvy, I decided to try out the VR before sending it to him to make sure it was easy to use and working fine. I'm so glad I did because the link does NOT work!All you have to do is rip out the VR viewer in the card, type in the specified website listed on the card to your phone for access to the VR video, slide your cell phone into the headset, and enjoy the short virtual reality clip. When I typed in the link to access the surfing video, my cell phone kept notifying me that the url was no longer available. Since this card was designed in 2017, I am assuming that Hallmark deactivated the website because it's 4 years old - it doesn't make sense, but that is just what I predict. I tried over and over and over again to access the video, but it doesn't exist anymore. I ended up going to the YouTube app and finding a different VR surfing video to watch with the headset which worked just fine, I'm just disappointed that the link on the card isn't accessible in 2021.Just know that if you're sending this to someone older that they will need to download the YouTube app, type in "surfing VR video" (or any VR video for that matter), press what they want to see, then click the button in the video that allows for VR access (it basically just splits the video clip into to separate videos for your eyes to watch in the headset - kind of hard to explain, but if you try it you'll see what I mean). There are more steps than anticipated, but once you figure it out, it's easy! I just wish the link worked.

Entertaining.
