I was a early backer of Oculus. But I half bailed-out when facebook did the buy-out. Since I have seen what the drivers are sending back for info on the user, I backed-out the rest of the way with Oculus.
But even better VR is available from HTC/Valve and soon StarVR and who knows who is next.
I thought the steam video was the best demo to date for one to realize what VR is since it is hard to describe with words and looks a bit dorky watching someone with a HMD and you can't understand the immersion seeing what they see on a 2D screen.
FYI
A cardboardVR device only gives you the idea of the concept. Does not compare to a full HMD like the HTC Vive.
But if you have not experienced VR, get a Google cardboard for less than $5 delivered on ebay and use your smartphone.
Heck, badoink and others are giving them away.
You will never have as much fun under $10 in your life.
