The best way to play this thing is to get a headband or something so you can strap it to your face like a real VR helmet, then just lay back in bed and jam.
I absolutely loved this thing for the actual game experience. The design for how you were supposed to use it, though, was absolute shit. Not even the children it was made for sit that low to a table for it to really be comfortable. You would almost always have to hunch over awkwardly and you'd definitely want a pillow or something for your chin... Just awful.
I remember trying to play it in the car by pressing it into the seat in front of me with my head. Lol
Lol, it weighs a couple of pounds. I remember trying to strap it to my head somehow, but it was just too heavy to stay up. You would need some kind of shoulder harness or something. Then if you were to lay on your back with it, the thin foam around the goggles just gives away and you got a block of heavy plastic pressing into your face.
Laying down in bed was the way to play. It was great.
