          Google Cardboard vs Oculus Rift - User Opinions

            Rift is a more sophisticated piece of virtual reality headset that is best suited for gaming and those who want a completely immersive experience. Cardboard is great for those who are dabbling in the world of VR and want to experience some phone games in 3D or feel like you're at a map destination in Google Maps.
