My initial goal was to do this for under $150(USD), however after shopping around and changing some parts out for alternatives I managed to get this down to around $80. So let us get started.

The parts required are:

Toggle Flick Switch
2x LED
1x resistor 150 Ohm
1x Micro USB cable (at least 2 meters long)
1x HDMI Cable (thin ones work best as they hinder movement less, also at least 2 meters long)
Some jumper wires
DC Adapter plug 5V 3A (Raspberry Pi compatible one works great)
Push Button
Google Cardboard Compatible VR Headset (I recommend one with a phone compartment door that opens as it gives better access than the ones which uses a tray that slides in)
6DOF MPU 6050 3Axis gyroscope and accelerometer
Arduino Micro (can use off-brand alternative)
5inch RaspberryPi LCD Screen 800×480 with HDMI interface
