I love trying out new gadgets, especially ones that incorporate extended reality. Virtual reality offers a way to voyage and experience unusual things from the comfort of my home and satisfy my curiosity for the unknown.
MagiMask Goggles ($169) are my portal into the world of extended reality. Unlike VR goggles that show you a virtual 3D surrounding, this device has more practical uses than you would imagine. Using MagiMask goggles, you can have an immersive cinematic experience like no other, but it has many uses outside of watching 360-degree movies and playing augmented reality games.
You can use MagiMask Goggles to help you buy the right furniture by previewing how it looks and fits in your home. They can also reduce anxiety if you wear them during a turbulent flight or an uncomfortable medical procedure. You can even stargaze with apps that identify stars and constellations. If you have a drone, you can put the goggles on to see the world from a bird’s-eye view.
What Is Extended Reality?
Extended reality is gaining popularity as more activities move online. This umbrella term covers augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). These terms describe technologically simulated environments and may sound super futuristic, but they have countless practical uses today.
Currently, most VR headsets focus on video games and workouts, while AR and MR devices offer more real-life benefits to the average user. MagiMask Goggles helped me dive into this new territory.
