Product Launch: Virtual Reality Is Now an Affordable Reality at Firebox.com

The revolutionary technology of the undoubtedly futuristic Oculus Rift has excited and baffled the internet as of late with its virtual reality possibilities. But not only is this wondrous device not available until 2016, you'll probably have to take out a second mortgage just to afford the deposit on one. Well if you're craving an escape to another world right this second, feast your eyes on (and indeed, in) the Immerse Virtual Reality Headset, available exclusively at Firebox.com. It's a new and affordable foray into the breathtaking world of virtual reality.

This mind-bending piece of kit utilises any smartphone to create a virtual world right in front of your eyes. Hundreds of free and inexpensive Virtual Reality (VR) apps are available on both the Play store and the Apple store, so whether you want to watch 3D Movies, explore new worlds or play immersive games, there's something for everyone.

Want to explore a city taken over by dinosaurs? Go ahead. How about wandering a world brimming with zombies just waiting to be shot? Now you can. The possibilities are endless with this entry-level Oculus, only infinitely more accessible.

Simply select which virtual world you'd wish to explore, slot your phone into the adjustable plastic enclosure of the super-comfy headset, put it up to your eyes and adjust the lenses and head straps to your liking before stepping foot into an immersive new land, all from the comfort of your own living room.

It's just as fun watching someone else become completely over-awed by their new surroundings. Watch and laugh as their jaws drop open, their heads mindlessly wander and listen to their gasps of wonder, delight and terror. It's never been easier to dip in and out of the real world to explore new, virtual environments.
