  I tried with that cardboard but I’m waiting until more controllers become available

    IIRC no cardboard ‘headset’ ever had 6dof tracking. It’s about as far as you can get from an immersive VR experience. I say this as someone who bought one before learning about VR and getting a real vr headset.

    It’s like VR with all of the downsides, even less apps, and the only advantage over a flatscreen being (limited) depth perception.

      What if I were to get the game to play on my 3D TV?

        IMO even a normal flatscreen is more immersive on average than a google cardboard, although that’s partially because a flatscreen hides the flaws in the graphics a lot better.

        HLA tho needs 6dof controllers for the intended experience. That mod tries to get around it, but that obviously involves some sacrifices.
