The World of VR

You may be familiar with Virtual Reality or VR for short. I first got interested in VR back in the early 2000s.  I was looking in a tech type catalog or magazine and I noticed a pair of glasses where it stimulates being in a movie theater.

Well that interested me.  However, there were several reasons why I didn't get that amazing piece of technology.  The first reason was the price.  It cost over $1,000, something that I didn't have at the time or for quite a while afterwards.  Plus I would have needed to purchase a top of the line computer and maybe a phone.  I don't think I even had one yet or it may have been a flip phone.

As I continued thinking about getting something like this, I had to put it on the back burner, because of the cost.  Maybe the price would go down and since I had bills to pay, this purchase was not a priority.

Eventually, I went from my flap phone to a smart phone just a few years ago and while at the store on time, I bought one of those cheap headsets where you slide the phone in to watch movies.  I found a couple sites where you can download movies to your phone.  This worked for a while,. But I still was looking for something more.  While watching the movies were great, they took up memory on the phone.  I also wanted to be able to use the headset for Netflix and Prime Videos.
