A - No our device is modular, screen size is changeable compartment.

Q - Price -
A- We want it under 200 Euros, (not sure how much that is)

Q - Launch Date
A - Kickstarter in the next month

Thoughts?

What costs 200e? It looks like my $10 Hasbro my3D with a $2 goggle strap.

Which reminds me... I need to put a goggle strap on my my3D.

I vote garbage.

Alternatively, check out FoV2Go.

The only value in vrAse will be the software made for it.

The design looks pretty good to me. Of course, its basically just a fov2go. As cellphones get better and better, more sensors, more developers, etc, going down this path may well be a good thing.

That said, e200 for a plastic HMD shell for your phone does seem excessive.
