Paralo launches Kickstarter campaign for another inexpensive VR headset

Virtual reality headsets are multiplying like crazy. Some are high-end devices, like Facebook’s Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, and others, such as Google Cardboard, are dirt cheap.

The latest — something in-between — comes from Paralo, which is launching a Kickstarter campaign today to raise money for its project. The New York-based startup has created a low-cost virtual reality headset that emphasizes comfort and affordability. It is a unibody device made out of silicone rubber. You can slide a VR-enabled smartphone such as a Samsung Galaxy Gear into the visor slot. You can then use the Play headset to view virtual reality experiences that have been created to run on the smartphone.
