What is it?
This is the new VR Headset from French based company Homido!
What I thought
Using your smartphone as the screen to play your videos and games, the Homido will cradle your phone lovingly in a nice tight grip, so when your turning your head wildly to avoid Meteor's, rockets and goodness knows what else, it won't fly out, even if you have one of the bulkier smartphones on the market..like mine!
Additional to the tight grip for your phone, the ski mask type strap will secure the Homido headset to your head, again very snug and very secure. There is also foam which lines the part which rests against your face. I do believe however the space for your nose needs widening, someone with a massive shnoz like me may find that a little uncomfortable and will need to adjust where the mask sits.
Unlike some headsets, Homido has the ability to focus the lenses inside the headset, you're able to move the lenses closer and further away from your eyes and also together and further apart. Because of this function, even people with glasses can enjoy a 3D experience without having to wear their glasses then this over the top, which can get very cramped and I should imagine quite painful for the ears!
Once securely on your head, using Homido's player and app centre you can choose from a massive array of 3D enabled apps and games, and even make and convert your own videos to 3D!
With some games you may need to purchase a separate WiFi controller, it just makes the experience a little easier to control, although there is space underneath the mask to get your finger in to touch the screen.
The games and videos from the Homido apps are simply amazing, and they'll keep getting better too! At the moment they are filmed using four GoPro cameras, special ones to get the best out of hi speed motion.
The Verdict
A fantastic headset, maybe a tad pricey, but with all things you get what you pay for, and this is top of the range in comfort and useability.
