For Christmas a few years ago, my parents got me a VR headset for your phone. Unfortunately, until last month I didn’t have a phone that supported it. I found it in my closet and am now enjoying it with the YouTube app. I relived the Simpsons sketch “Steamed Hams” from Chalmers’ point of view. I dove under the ocean and flew in a plane. I took a tour of Titanic. And now, I am binging Atari Archive, and it seems like I am watching it in a movie theater or planetarium or something. It’s great!

I have one of those too, but I've never tried it. You think you could give me a quick "how-to" set of steps? I assume you must load an app and then what? Just the plain youtube app? But what do you do to get the 3d effect? I'm lost!

There is supposed to be an app for the headset, but I don’t know what it is and haven’t gotten it. My headset is basically plastic with a tray for a phone.
On the YouTube app, click the 3 little dots and then “watch in VR”. Then I just slide it back into the headset. Tada!
So no, you don’t need a specific app. But, it’s an option.
