I bought the daughter some entry level Virtual Reality glasses. Her Android phone slips in and that is the VR screen, supposedly....

Store told us to download some emulator App from scanning a code on the box, some web site called 'happy chick' or similar, but it just won't work, won't connect, and the daughter told me it is in Chinese anyway.....

So, any suggestions how to make this Android VR thing work??? Any other sort of 'emulator' that will install, and what exactly does it do, and where/how to put games into it?

We're clueless. confusedfrown

Open the Play store and search for Cardboard. That will allow apps that support VR to pop up a cardboard symbol when you open them and key you flip into VR.

From within the cardboard app you should be able to get a list of VR apps and games to install, but if not the search for Cardboard should find these too.
