Thanks, I did not know about that demo. I want to get the best available, within reason, so I am a bit skeptical of the smartphone + lens setups, but I will keep an open mind. Content is very scarce.

It's surprisingly good - if you combine poor vision with the relatively low latency of the Gear VR, it's quite convincing. The only thing it can't do (that an Oculus can) is depth.
