What
The LG R100 '360 VR' headset is a failed add-on for the LG G5 phone , ment for viewing 360 videos on the go.
Originally priced at 200 usd, these can now be found for ~20 euro on ebay while stocks last :)
Why do i care
OpenHMD has gotten (for now basic) support for these goggles recently, making them usable on any computer with USB-C AltMode DP video output. Such support could also be added to some computers. OpenHMD is a library for linux and windows that can be used in other programs to gain VR support. A notable application that uses it is a plugin for SteamVR to use it with steam games ;)
Woa nice, what are the specs
- 960x720 pixels per eye on a seperate IPS LCD ( i think ~600ppi )
- -2- hardware buttons
- 6axis IMU data (gyro and accel) , some sources suggest a compass is present aswell
- a 3.5mm jack for headphones (currently unsupported through openhmd)
- adjustable diopter and pupilar distances (within some limits)
- fits over glasses (but not too well, maybe we can adjust the removable lightshield for it)
- single USB-C plug for power, video (through USB-C AltMode DP) , button, audio and IMU data
Where can i find it
Search on ebay for 'LG R100' or 'LG 360 VR'
What if my pc has no USB-C AltMode DP
UPDATE 2019/05/01
strfry on #openhmd on freenode is selling these adapters ; http://strfry.org/projects/LG360VR.html
alpine ridge card did not work
UPDATE 2019/05/01
Reading the hardforum thread [1] i noticed the Alpine and Titan Ridge cards [2] used successfully for similar goals. Dutch webshops seem to be getting it in stock nowadays for ~75 euro. Nobody tried it yet, but outlook is good ;)

Some other cards that probably can fit this purpose;
- Sunix UPD2018
- Asus ThunderboltEX 3

What if my DP ports are all occupied
DP 1.2 added a feature that allows multiple devices to be connected to a single upstream port through either daisy chaining, or added hubs.
feitingen on #openhmd confirmed that the LG R100 works for him through a thunderbolt dock with a built-in dp-mst hub.
These kind of hubs start around 30 euro on ebay, atm.
SBC
There also seem to be some Single Board Computers that support DP on USB-C.
