How about no. My computer can run it but I don't want to drop 800 dollars on a machine that will be either woefully outdated or dead in the water in a year.

SteveJenkins:
I was going to suggest google cardboard but the gear vr has better motion tracking since its systems are built into it and your mobile device only acts as a screen, where cardboard I assume relies on the devices systems which aren't very good for something as intricate as VR.
if you can afford it sure, but the cardboard series is a tenth of the price and functionally the same besides the above
Wesley Williams:
I have cardboard and can confirm it works fine enough to play around with, but to be honest you get bored with phone VR after a few days and never use it again.
Tezuni 2.0:
right now the technology is in its infancy and is gimmicky.
VR is like the 3D movie fad, it too shall pass in a few years.
i'll wait till we get at least some semblance of matrix level immersion or die waiting
