Explore the concepts of virtual reality and augmented reality using the MERGE AR/VR Headset, MERGE Cube, and AR/VR apps installed on the included smartphones.
Experiencing virtual reality is easy with the MERGE Headset. Simply choose a VR app or select a 360o VR experience from NORWELD's YouTube VR Playlist, slide the smartphone into the MERGE Headset, and be transported to new worlds. The flexible foam design and adjustable lenses make these headsets ideal for children, teens, and adults.
To experience augmented reality, choose one of many AR apps, focus the smartphone on one of the MERGE Cubes, and watch the Cube transform before your eyes. Control holograms in the palm of your hand simply by turning the MERGE Cube and interacting with the app on the smartphone. You can even view the MERGE Cube through the MERGE Headset for a mixed reality experience.
