Homido VR headset

Homido, virtual reality headset

Website: http://www.homido.com/en

The Homido VR provides a low cost intro into smartphone-based virtual reality or 360º videos, and it’s more convenient than Google Cardboard. It is designed to hold a smartphone in front of your eyes so you can view VR and augmented reality content in the most immersive way possible.

HOMIDO - Original Design

The lenses are the most important part of any VR headset, and the Homido comes with three different cones to hold them in place, all made for different focal lengths (Adjustable focal lengths). On the faceplate there are two rotating knobs for adjusting the depth of view and IPD settings (Adjustable Inter-pupillar distance). Any device with a 5-inch 1080p resolution is recommended, but it’ll work with just about any phone, regardless of OS.

Homido VR is my choice as developer for any Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear apps. Unlike Cardboard, this is a solid but lightweight, complete with three lens fittings, a secure hands-free design and compatibility across most 5-inch smartphones.
