The future of virtual reality looks bright. The first purpose-built consumer VR headsets are coming onto the market over the next six months, and PC users have been promised a whole new world of interactivity. Yet big advancements are also being made on the mobile side, with new devices that take advantage of the better processors and high-res displays of the latest smartphones to give you VR on the go. But with the big divide in computing power between desktops and smartphones, are we ready for mobile VR? The Noon VR is an attempt to answer that question.

Virtual reality headsets use a pair of lenses to focus the viewer's eyes on a screen a few inches from their face, and display a separate image per eye to give the user the perception of looking in three dimensions. Head tracking is also important for VR, and while desktop versions such as the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift use separate cameras to track your movement and adjust the image accordingly, the Noon VR and other mobile VR devices use your phone's gyroscope to accomplish that feat.
