Also, these are easy to grip with ergonomic shape and non-slip surface.


The controllers and the smartphone are linked via Bluetooth. You can operate the VR games through the integrated touchpads and trigger buttons. The sensors in the controllers and in the smartphone, enable you to interact with the VR experience with great ease.
Moreover, Steam platform VR games can be played on a smartphone with the help of this VR headset. Zeiss VR One Connect has been optimized for use with SteamVR and works with its current games. To those who are unaware, Steam is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces for computer games and software based on VR content.

Pricing and Availability

Zeiss VR One Connect is set to be released at the end of 2017 and the company will retail it for €129 (Rs. 9,990 approx.). However, if you want to buy the Zeiss VR One Plus with its bundle including two wireless 3DoF controllers, a USB cable to connect the headset to your computer, and a cable clip and the software, it will cost €199 (Rs. 15,200 approx.).
