Stimuli rolls out smartphone-cradling VR specs

The first virtual reality device a hipster would be seen dead wearing has just emerged in the form of 2VR, Digital Spy reveals.

Created by New York VR company Stimuli, the device is a pair of vintage-style specs with an additional pair of forward-facing arms for cradling the user's smartphone in front of their face.

Stylish and more than a bit silly, 2VR allows you to take in VR experiences on the move and folds up neatly into your pocket, Digital Spy said.

"We noticed, especially with lower market headsets, we were still missing a beautiful hands-free, mobile headset," said Stimuli founder Roy Peer.

"This inspired us to create 2VR, a mobile headset that is beautiful, economical, and fits in your pocket."

2VR is seeking crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Users can reserve a pair for just $15, and Stimuli is hoping to generate enough interest to reach its target sum of $30,000 within a month.
