My preferred VR and MR devices

My preferred VR device is Sony PlayStation VR. The main reason I pick Sony’s VR device as my favorite is that it has the highest refresh rate which is 120Hz while the refresh rates of other devices are usually 60Hz to 90Hz. According to my experience, the refresh rate has a strong influence on the playing experience of games, especially for shooting games. Moreover, low refreshing rates of VR devices may cause nausea in certain conditions. However, a high refresh rate also requires stronger hardware. The resolution of it is also less than the devices produced by other companies. Nevertheless, for me, it is okay to have a less resolution in the trade of a higher refresh rate.

My preferred MR device is Windows Mixed Reality Headset (HC102) produced by ASUS. The reason I like it is that it has the lightest weight compared to other devices such as HP’s(898 g) and ACER’s(848 g) without comprising on screen quality. It still has a screen with 2.89 inch size and 1440*1440 resolution per eye. However, the field of view of it is 95 degrees horizontal Fresnel-Aspherical which is slightly smaller than others which are usually 100 degrees. With a lighter weight pressing on their shoulders, users can act more flexibly and have MR experience for a longer time. Last but not least, in my opinion, the outward appearance of it also looks better compared to other devices.
