Has anyone had or used one of these?
Tempted to treat myself to one for christmas, not for gaming but the so called immersive experiences...I read they have meditative stuff etc but also I can go rock climbing or white water rafting without leaving the house! 
Which is handy for someone who can just about manage the chemist and the doctors...

    It does..I can see me making a pina colada and sitting on a beach in the Maldives...I'd probably never take it off! Lol

    Never used them but what you describe does sound interesting go ahead and treat yourself

    They do sound like good fun. Are they expensive?

    The one I was looking at was 400 but thankfully I have a sensible son who told me to try out cardboard viewers that you can attach to your phone for a tenner to try it out first...he said they left him with headaches and motion sickness!
    So I've just ordered the cardboard viewer for now before splasing out  :)

    I used one once at a free event but it was to see a virtual orchestra performance, not play a game or do any activities as such. I quite enjoyed the experience. Let us know how you get on with the cardboard viewer @Cress!
