List of latest HWs that I think are great: [VR] Oculus Go, [VR] HTC Vive Pro, [AR] Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses, [MR] Microsoft HoloLens, [MR] Acer Mixed Reality headset

Preferred device for VR: Oculus Go

  • Large library of apps
  • Comfortable to use
  • Easy to use
  • No phones needed
  • 2560×1400 resolution
  • Built in speakers and mics
  • Voice search

Preferred device for MR: HP Windows Mixed Reality headset

  • Easy to setup
  • Comfortable to wear
  • No need to attach additional sensors to use it
  • Works on a wide range of computer hardware
  • Sharp display

My criteria for a good VR/MR headset mostly depends on the user experience that it can provide. The installation and setup of the headset has to be fuss free with no need for additional software or hardware installation. Ideally, the user should be able to use the headset once the button is turned on. While the user uses the headset, it should be comfortable enough such that the user does not think of removing the headset during the experience. Last but not least, the graphics and resolution has to be high enough to provide an experience similar to real life.
