=Basics=
*A Cheap(ish) way of SORT OF? (insert definition snobbery here) doing [[VR]] and to an EVEN LESSER capability [[AR]] and [[MR]]
*Uses a [[Smartphone]] and a headset with lenses and a head mount system to make a rudimentary [[All in One HMD]]
*Granted due to the display not being an optimized geometry quality is lesser, also depending on headset quality lenses may be bad (see the headset reccomendations section below)
*Also uses only [[Accelorometer-Compass-Gyroscope Dead Reconing]] for tracking and thus suffers from drifting in tracking overtime
**ALSO this limits the system to 3DOF unless an add-on like [[NOLO VR]] or [[PSVR Emulation]] is used
*It can be a [[HMD PC Tethering]] setup with the correct software, but most Smartphone IO is insufficient for high speed data transfer
*Also screen resolution is reduced when magnified and stretched etc by the lenses so ever 1440p looks more like 720p or a bit less
*Issues like the [[Screen Door Effect]] also arise due to the screen issue
*Overheating may be an issue due to most programs essentially maxing out the smartphone's hardware, but propper passive and/or active cooling aleviate this

=Main Use Cases=
==VR Content==
*Viewing Steroscopic "Flat" Videos and Images ("3D Movies" etc)
*Viewing Panoramas
*Viewing [[360 Videos]]
*Viewing [[3DOF VR Pictures]]
*Viewing [[3DOF VR Videos]]
*[[Google Earth VR]] perhaps?

==Telepresence==
*Perhaps some sort of tethered cobot/telepresence bot camera's display?

==Intro to VR==
*There is some debate as to if a low quality experience will "scare off" non-early adopters, but it is a VERY cheap place to start if one has a good smartphone already and 10-60 USD to burn
