Maybe once the upcoming Labo kit comes out? Since that's the only "headset" that will be available on the Switch that I know of.

Tablet "headsets" work on the switch, this has been known for 2 years.

None people would watch side by side videos and stuff using the built in web browser.

Maybe a headset for the Switch would be to make a dock for it (chop off one of the sides of a normal dock maybe?) and the screen would be pretty much be right there in your face but it would need to have a pretty decent sized battery or something to give it the juice it needs and then from there make it look like a normal VR headset. This is just an idea idk if it would work or not.

Switch has a 720p display. On 6.2". Those pixelgrids will be HUGE through VR google lenses.

Probably worst experience ever.

Agreed with the conclusion but want to point out screen size doesn't matter. Larger screen means less magnification. The end of the day FOV and resolution determine everything

Interesting. Optics. Right.

The switch itself honestly doesn't look too bad when you place it in front of a cheap VR headset.

vbjin-ovr looks pretty great on my DK2, let alone my Vive. I think a virtual boy emulator would be perfect for this, no joke.

With the Labo VR kits out, I hope to see some cool VR hoembrew. I would even like a modified Virtual Boy emulator if possible.

Ah the Nintendo makes magic work, because Nintenndo proposal.

What you are talking about, when you are talking low resolution for VR is pixel grids. The space between pixels is so large, that you get a veritable screen door effect. The Lcds used (they are sourced from different manufacturers, and only part of the first bunch was japanese) will suffer from smearing because refresh rate cant be fast enough on mobile devices, much less ones designed with the screen being more or less an afterthought - and all you are left with is the hiptsters idea of what to do with Labo, once the entire first concept failed.

Lucky you, that VR is really just tablet tech with different ergonomics.

Marketing decision. Shitty one. Milk the VR hype.

But of course the Nintendo label makes it all better..
