I think it’s safe to say that 2016 is the year virtual reality finally arrived. With exciting games from the likes of Playstation to immersing yourself in a film, virtual reality technology is revolutionizing the way we experience gaming and entertainment.

Unlike a lot of new and exciting technology that is released, it probably comes as a shock to people that the ability to own virtual reality technology is relatively inexpensive, which is one of 4 reasons you will want to give dad the gift of virtual reality this Father’s Day.

It’s Affordable 

As consumers, we’re used to ground-breaking tech coming with a ground-breaking price tag. Surprisingly, virtual reality is fairly affordable with the likes of The Samsung Gear VR coming in at a reasonable $99! (Although you will need a compatible Samsung smartphone to operate it.)

There is Already a Wealth of Content

And unlike other introductory technology, where accessories and content are scarce, many distributors are already producing a wealth of content for VR owners. Samsung, Netflix and even major blockbusters like Jurassic Park already offer a variety of virtual reality experiences from taking part in epic battles to interacting with live dinosaurs.
