But ViewMaster's headset is under $20 and quite nice. A little bulky, but it's a winner in the "casual no-strap" category. I have no problem with the res on my 6+: it's not high-end VR, but it's very cool! (TONS of dud apps out though—you have try and reject many that SAY they work with Cardboard but are not calibrated right—or are needlessly slow, which = nausea.)
And it allows some AR with the iPhone camera. (Potentially, anyway. Haven't seen much done with that.
Modern VR headsets put your focal distance at infinity using lenses—you're nor focussed inches away. Infinity is the natural resting point of your eyes when closed. Don't let your mom fret :)
I imagine Seven of Nine would be a pretty popular DLC. :D
