The Zeiss VR One Is The Best Google Cardboard
Hey there, it’s Ritchie D here. If you follow my channel you’ll know that I’ve been getting into mobile virtual reality lately, and my last segment looked at the VR One from Zeiss. I’ll be honest, I didn’t get the VR One headset so I could jump into their ecosystem, I actually thought it would […]

Samsung Gear VR First Impressions
Lucky me, lucky me! This week I was able to get hold of the Oculus-powered Samsung Gear VR so I could take it along for “show and tell” at Radio 2GB during my tech talk on Saturday afternoon.
