Unboxing Homido: A Revolutionary Virtual Reality Device for Smartphones

As an enthusiast of virtual reality (VR), I'm excited to share with you my experience with Homido, a device that promises to bring VR experiences to your smartphone without the need for a powerful computer. As Sakis Karpas, I'm here to guide you through the unboxing process and provide you with a detailed overview of this innovative device.

Upon opening the package, we're greeted by a quality transport case that contains not only the Homido headset itself but also some additional accessories such as notes, different size lenses, and a cleaning cloth for the lenses. The case is made of good quality plastic, and I'm impressed with the overall build quality of the device. The design is simple yet beautiful, with a red-black color combination that gives it a premium feel. From the logos and rubber surfaces to the silicon and foam, every detail has been carefully considered to create a sense of quality.

One of the standout features of Homido is its adjustable lenses. The adjustment wheels on the left and right sides of the device regulate the distance of the lenses from the screen, while the wheel on top adjusts the distance between the lenses themselves. This allows for a precise fit, ensuring that your smartphone is securely held in place. The rubber surface around the phone prevents any scratches or damage, and I appreciate the effort that has gone into creating a seamless user experience.

Homido supports devices ranging from 4.3 inches to 5.5 inches, with an optimal size of 5 inches being recommended for the best VR experience. I was pleased to find that my smartphone fit perfectly within the device, and the straps were more than capable of holding it in place on my head. However, I did encounter some issues with the nose piece, finding it a bit narrow, but this didn't detract from my overall experience.

As someone who has extensive experience with Oculus Rift, the most popular all-in-one VR headset on the market, I was eager to try out Homido and see how it compares. I'm pleased to report that Homido delivers an impressive VR experience, surpassing even the Rift in some areas. The high-resolution screen, which I tested with 2K screen devices such as the Oppo Find 7 and Samsung Galaxy S6, provided a flawless viewing experience with no dizziness or discomfort.

One of the standout features of Homido is its lack of cables. With only the headphone connections, the device feels more approachable and user-friendly than traditional VR headsets. This also means that users can enjoy a seamless VR experience without any distractions. However, there is one potential drawback to using Homido with smaller screen smartphones – the real world can sometimes slip through the cracks, but this can be compensated for by using the device in low-light conditions.

Another important aspect of Homido is its compatibility with Bluetooth controllers. In my opinion, this is essential if you want to get 100% of the VR experience. However, most apps are designed with touch controls in mind and rely on the smartphone's gyroscope to navigate. This can be a bit frustrating at times, but there are some quality apps available that cater specifically to VR users.

The Homido app store is home to almost all the VR apps available, sorted by rating, cost, category, and more. I personally recommend using Google or YouTube to find apps that truly worth your while. With Homido, you can also watch 3D videos, thanks to apps like Google Cardboard that transform any video into a 3D experience, providing a slight but noticeable sense of depth.

In conclusion, Homido is a great opportunity for everyone to experience VR through their smartphone without breaking the bank. It's not perfect, but with its good quality, user-friendly design, and impressive VR experience, it's definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enUnboxholics know a little something about Virtual Reality.I am Sakis Karpas, you are watching Unboxholics and this is Homido,a device that is close to Oculus Rift, Gear VR etc.With a major difference though. Homido brings VR experience to your smartphone,eliminating the need of a powerful computer.Let’s get into that.First of all, it comes in a quality transport case, which besides the headset itself,contains some notes, different size lenses and a cleaning cloth for the lenses.Homido is a pretty decent device concerning the build quality.It’s made mostly of good quality plastic.In terms of design, it’s simple and beautiful, plus I like the red-black combination in colors.From logos and rubber surfaces, down to silicon and foam,it gives a quality sensation in total.For the record, foam can be replaced in case of wear.The adjustment wheels on the left and right side of the deviceregulate the distance of the lenses from the screen,while on the top the wheel regulates the distance between the lenses themselves.The smartphone gets inserted on the front where it’s being safely hold.The truth is that inserting takes a little effort,but the device is firmly in place and the rubber surface makes sure the phone isn’t scratched.Homido supports devices ranging from 4.3 inches to 5.5 inches.The optimal size is 5 inches.Before I talk about user experience, I must talk about head mounting.I didn’t really encounter any problems.The straps are more than capable to hold the device on your headand I would recommend using the upper strap too for better results.My only complaint is the part of the nose.I found that a bit narrow but nothing I couldn’t deal with.So, as an accessory, it’s more than satisfying,but let’s see if it delivers the experience of Virtual Reality it promises.As you may already know, I have a pretty good experience of Oculus Rift,the most popular all-in-one VR headset of the market.I must admit though that with Homido, I had a pretty decent experiencewhich in some points, it surpassed that of the Rift,mainly because of the high resolution screen,as I tested it with 2K screen devices,Oppo Find 7 in 5.5 inches and Samsung Galaxy S6 in 5.1 inches.Higher resolution apparently means less dizziness,which I had problems with in Oculus DK1.Viewing in Homido is flawless.The part that there are no cables besides the headphone ones,makes the experience friendlier to the user.There is a downside on smaller screen smartphones,with the real world slipping through the cracks,but you can compensate by using Homido in low light conditions.A major issue is that the user loses control of the smartphoneafter it has been placed into the Homidoand using the smartphone means taking it off and placing it back in.Of course, most of the smartphones support Bluetooth controllers,which in my opinion, is essential if you want to get 100% of the experience.On the other hand, most of the apps are designed with the lack of touch control in mindand offer controls via the gyroscope of the smartphone.Speaking of apps, VR applications are available in all three major stores,Google Play, App Store and Microsoft’s Marketplace.The latter has clearly less apps than the other two but it constantly gets new apps.Android and iOS offer a wide range of apps.Almost 80% of them are trash, but there are some quality apps in thereand as long companies can see the rise of VR, more quality apps will rise too.Homido has its own app, Homido Center,where you can find almost all the VR apps there are,sorted by rating, cost, category etc.I personally recommend the use of Google or YouTube to find apps that truly worth your whileand believe me, among the overwhelming amount of apps, there are some extremely interesting.Besides games and apps, with Homido you can watch 3D video.In fact, apps like Google Cardboard transform any video in 3D,providing a slight but noticeable sense of depth.Homido is available at Homido.gr at €69 and the Bluetooth controller is at €20.On the site you can also find all the information you need about Homido’s VR experience.In my opinion, while it is not the cornerstone of Virtual Reality,Homido is a great chance for everyone to experience VR through the smartphone they already have.It’s not expensive, it has good quality, it works, so why not?On Unboxholics.com we will do a Homido giveaway,so if you are interested, hit the link on the description.That’s all for now, I’ll catch you up on Unboxholics.com\n"
