To get the most out of Primrose, you will want to use a Head Mounted Display (HMD) of some kind. There are several options available—some inexpensive, some very powerful.
Smartphone-based Stereo Viewers
Most modern smartphone devices come with features that make them suitable as stereo image viewers.
- High resolution displays,
- Multi-core main processors,
- Graphics processors,
- Orientation and acceleration sensing hardware,
- Bluetooth and/or USB-host connectivity for peripheral devices.
With the addition of a couple of lenses, a frame in which to hold the lenses and phone, and the right software, the smartphone you already own may be convertible into a basic stereo image viewer, suitable for short-term, limited VR use.
