What did you get for Christmas?

Samsung Gear VR for my phone

No it's not perfect, but for $99 and the fact it uses my cellphone as the screen is pretty freaking cool! I really thought nobody in my family would think it's cool, but I didn't even get time to play with it on Christmas day! My parents were exploring France in 360-degrees, and my wife was exploring the Chicago Skyline! Hahaha, yes the resolution of my phone means I get a 'screen door' effect, but it was an awesome Christmas gift especially since I was able to share the fun with my whole family (they usually never comprehend the various techy gifts I ask for)

Oh, and I also got a Samsung Smarthub and a few sensors so I can turn my home into a smart-house https://www.smartthings.com/

Freaking love it! Definitely one of my most favorite 'high tech' Christmas gifts of all time - it's almost too real at times.

I can't wear it for too long before my eyes start to hurt and I get too dizzy but it's amazing to finally have a real virtual reality headset.

It doesn't quite feel as awesome as it does with a VR Headset, but watch this video with your smartphone if you like flying:

(Yes, I did find this video on my Gear VR so I can share it with others - it's one of my favorite VR Videos to date)

I'm using Fatshark Dominator HD goggles to watch the video feed transmitted from my drones. Really immersive ands feels like flying from a fighter jet when turning on HeadsUpDisplay.
