You cannot wear your glasses while wearing the the vr but you can adjust the view. You can plug in headphones while playing the unit yet bluetooth headphones would be better.
The remote control is a wireless device that comes with the unit and it provides a nice alternate to using the glasses to navigate. The remote control won't work on every application though like samsung vr videos.
The virtual reality will transport you into a different environment. Even if you know you are within your living room it will still feel like you're in another location. It would be best if you do this in a rotating chair if not, then standing up and turning around is ok as well just try not to walk or move your hands to touch stuff.
It didn't come with the necessary adapter to even put my phone in it!
When I tried to contact the seller it took a very long time for response and instead of attempting to help. The response was cold and flippant. This is the worst but I've made on Amazon and I buy EVERYTHING from Amazon down to my groceries. Never again will I blindly trust what the ad says and will always contact seller before purchasing. It was missing the main piece for goodness sake! Also it was a piece that's nearly impossible to find. I've had this piece of junk for two months and still haven't found the piece!
