Engage!
Right
now in your pocket, charging up nearby, or in your hand as you read
this article, you possess a powerful virtual reality tool. If you
have yet to experience the amazing good fun of VR on your phone, now
is the time; and we've found a great quality device, with a very
handsome price tag, to enable you to do just that. We test the
Intempo Engage VR Headset.
To make an immersive VR experience possible, all you really need is a couple of lenses. Headsets such as this are simple affairs, and basically only need to hold your phone in a comfortable position while also being comfortable and light themselves. If you've ever used a pair like this (and we've certainly reviewed a few) you might have notice that they are all quite similar, with not much variance across the board. So it's nice to see a set with a few added extras.
First
up the Intempo Engage VR Headset uses a press-clip to push and hold
your phone into place, so no fiddling around attempting to clamp it
in there. There is also an opening panel on the front which gives
access to your phone's camera, so if you have downloaded a VR game
which requires the use of the camera, you're sorted. Oh, and
obviously you can hook up a pair of headphones thanks to the little
slot for the cable to run out of.
Once
you've installed your phone the headset offers a good range of
optical adjustments. Not only can the individual lenses be focused
and also moved further apart or closer together, the whole phone
cradle can be pushed further out, allowing you to find the most
comfortable view possible. Wins all round. The Intempo Engage VR
Headset also features a t-bar head strap, which not only goes around
the back of your skull, but over the top as well; all adjustable and
all able to fit both children's and adult's heads.
And
then it's really up to you what you want to download and play, and
thanks to the low price of the unit there really isn't any excuse not
to own this. Think of it as a must-own phone accessory, especially
considering the current growth of mobile VR.
