Built by Google, and presented at the Google I/O 2014, this is one of the simplest, easiest, and cheapest ways to get your foot into virtual reality. You can build your own with a pizza box following the instructions given by Google on their website.

It doesn’t come with a headstrap, so you have to figure out how to attach your own if you want to play games that require a controller. It do comes with a magnet button, that you can use with some apps and games that are ready for it.

There are a lot of places where you can buy the cardboard (if you don’t want to, or can’t build your own):

• Get Google Cardboard
• Unofficial Cardboard
• DODOcase

You can read more here, here, and here.

The Durovis Dive is the first Virtual Reality smartphone holder for consumers. The Durovis Dive works with Android or iOS smartphones featuring a gyroscope and an accelerometer and a display not larger than 5 inches.

You can read more, and buy one, on their website.

Refugio 3D is another DIY kit made with cardboard, quite similar to the Google Cardboard, but with cool adjustable lenses. You can buy one of those kits directly from their website, and it comes with a head-strap and big lenses. There are also various editions, for different device sizes.

We’d truly appreciate a little help improving and adding more info to this page. You can submit new headsets, or send an improved text for any of them (you’ll of course be credited for this).
