That VR headset is so awesome and random! I love it so much, I want to know the story on why that exists. Did yours come with the space stickers?

Pretty cool. It does look retro. Made in 2018 though.

I got one of those phone VR headsets a few years back, looks identical just without the PBS logo. I think it was about $20 :olol:

Agreed! For only $3 there was no way I was going to pass it up. Yep mine came with the stickers as well. Here is a picture of the actual one I have. (and yes I purposely arranged it in the same way as the image from Ebay.) :olol:

As you can see from the last picture it still has the protective film on the lenses so it has never been used.

I looked into it a little as to why PBS would make a VR headset and it seems they made an app several years back called "PBS Lunar Base VR"

Still pretty odd though. Like something LGR might show on Oddware in 2045. :olol:
