Virtual Reality in Your Own Living Room Amy Smith, December 9, 2018December 28, 2022 Virtual Reality Goggles and Cube When I was a little girl, one of my favorite places to go was an arcade. I especially loved the machine that would allow you to sit in front of a screen and experience the sensation of a roller coaster ride without ever stepping foot on a roller coaster. As I grew up, the machines would cycle through roller coasters, mining adventures, skiing, and a jet ski. I thought that these machines were the best invention where arcades were concerned. Technology has always amazed me! I look at the goggles now and think back to my childhood – those big machines seemed so advanced and incredible to me – twenty-some years later we can have that same experience (and better!) through the goggles that we wear. Merge Virtual Reality Goggles allow for my kids (as admittedly the adults in the house) to experience virtual reality in the comfort of our home, or car, or to bring to a friend’s house to share the experience. These goggles are a must-have for any tech-loving home. No controller is needed! Directly download the app to your smartphone and enjoy! The phone fits securely into the front of the device for safe and secure viewing. The goggles are made of a lightweight foam and are adjustable making them an excellent choice for both kids and adults alike. Are you interested in sharks or lions – how they live, eat, and what their lives are like? What about watching the 2018 Olympics as if you were there? Want to ride a roller coaster without leaving home? Have you ever wanted to tour an off-shore wind farm or go into the depths of an active volcano? How awesome would it be to take a tour of an ancient city or explore King Tut’s tomb? As a homeschooled mom, I am always looking for unique ways to teach my children. With over 300 apps, games, and videos (and more available weekly) the option for virtual field trips, watching news events and sports up close in a new light, and experiencing animals in a way never thought imaginable makes this mom happy! The game lovers in our house love the games that Merge offers. Take care of a horse in Dream Horse. Become a treasure hunter seeking gold and jewels in Hidden Temple. Shrink down and learn about the brain and emotions in iMind 2. Or you can experience what growing a community garden entails through the eyes of a child in Share the Science: STEM. Merge VR Goggles have won several awards including being awarded CNN’s “Best VR Headset for Big Kids and Tweens,” was a winner of the Academic’s Choice Award, and was chosen by Consumer Reports as an Expert Pick. I recommend purchasing Merge VR Goggles, grabbing your phone, downloading the apps, and sitting back and enjoying endless adventures! Also, make sure you check out the MERGE Cube! When holding it, this is all you see…. that is until you look at it through the VR goggles. What you hold in your hand now becomes a hologram! You can bring a new world to life right in the palm of your very own hand! Your kids will love this for a gift under the tree or for a fabulous birthday surprise.
