going to take a look into this later, but I thought i'd put this out there

basically allows you to turn an android phone into a VR headset.

Looks like it could be worth a try, any idea if it will work with ED?

Hmm....a 5-6" 1080p panel with HDMI input and an EDTracker....

Cute.

Can't see how this would work with a PC game though. The real issue is latency between the PC and screen strapped to your face isn't it? That's what Oculus are finding challenging.

I thought this was a joke at first. Was waiting for them to break out the beans tins and string comms device.

After watching the vids it's intriguing but I'd be surprised if it was compatible with games but hey here's hoping.

Not sure what you're asking... But Google and Android are the same.

I've got one of those Google Cardboard things, I'd love it if someone figured out a way to make it work with ED, but yeah, the latency would be the biggest issue.
