How does Google Cardboard compare to other VR headsets?
On price, Google Cardboard is hard to beat. And unlike many VR headsets with releases planned for later in the year, you can get Google Cardboard right now. Samsung’s Oculus-powered Gear VR accessory is out now and costs $99, but it only works with select Samsung phones.
This is a very compelling reason to get the Google Cardboard. Since HTC Vive and Oculus Rift vr headset are still in its first versions and costs a lot to buy. With the cheaper Cardboard, you can experience VR and when you decide you want to go all out, you can spend that cash to get a more expensive setup.
