The VR One will come with two multimedia apps that will let you watch movies in 3D, browse photos, and use Google’s street view. The company also advertises being able to use the VR One to “interact with Augmented Reality,” but it isn’t very specific on what that means exactly.
Early adopters will be able to receive their VR One’s as soon as this Christmas, with a wider release expected in 2015.
