  11. Shameless plug - we recently released our $80 headset with support for spatial videos. It's a plastic headset, with two bluetooth controllers, that you put your phone into 'Google Cardboard style'. No need to wait for Vision Pro :-) https://www.zappar.com/zapbox/

  13. Shameless plug (my apologies it's my second this week ) - but we recently released our $80 headset. It's a plastic headset, with two bluetooth controllers, that you put your phone into 'Google Cardboard style'. We've released a Spatial TV app that lets you view spatial videos straight away. https://www.zappar.com/zapbox/
