VR/MR Headsets

Here is a list of VR/AR/MR headsets that I think are great:

  • Oculus Quest
  • Sony PS VR
  • Valve Index
  • ThirdEye Gen X2
  • Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses
  • Microsoft HoloLens
  • Nreal Lightweight Glasses

In terms of my favourite VR headset, it would have to be the Oculus Quest.

The Oculus Quest pales in comparison in terms of specification compared to other VR headsets out there, such as the Valve Index. However, its best feature is the simplicity in setting it up. The Oculus Quest utilizes a built-in sensor array that recognizes the user’s environment, allowing them to easily map out a VR space the user can use. The Quest is also completely wireless, which adds on to a more immersive experience.

As a newcomer to the VR industry, the idea of a system that requires minimal setup and is essentially “plug-and-play” makes it extremely attractive. It is also reasonably priced with mid-ranged specs, allowing new users to obtain a decent VR experience without having to fork out exorbitant amounts of money.

Based on my search online, the preferred MR headset I would use is the Microsoft HoloLens. The HoloLens provides gesturing and gaze tracking, and can accurately map and interact with the environment, allowing for a seamless and immersive MR experience.

The only downside to the device would be its cost: with a price of $3000, it would be more suited towards professional or industrial usage, rather than for personal entertainment.
