I first experienced VR tech on a device called VSUN. It was a scary thing for me. Honestly, I hate virtual realities. So when I saw that VR is also enabled on my Camon CX via google services, I didn't bother setting up. Those that like it can do it if it's enabled on their device, but for yours truly? It's a No No! 4 Likes |
