Bring back the View-Master! I personally would never buy something that I have to strap around my head. Remember those things called helmets? Even today, it is a struggle to get both kids and adults to where them. I think these companies are completely missing the mark about VR. I would use a View Master over Oculus, Google, etc.

They did bring back the viewmaster(vr) https://www.amazon.com/View-Master-Virtual-Reality-Starter-Pack/dp/B011EG5HJ2 https://www.amazon.com/View-Master-Virtual-Reality-Starter-P... It's pretty darn good. No strap too.

  No way!

    Yep! Works pretty nice actually, even with an iPhone 6. The classic ViewMaster lever is there too, but it allows you to "click" the screen. It's fun.

I can assure you that both the View-Master and helmets are still around. If you don't want to strap something to your head, then great: don't (although I really do recommend wearing a helmet while biking). Cardboard does fill the low-end 'view-master-like' niche, but until the display technology gets a lot smaller, strapping something to your head is the most practical solution.

There's a view master by Mattel already based on Cardboard. Love the retro look. See http://www.view-master.com/en-us http://www.view-master.com/en-us.
