Racing Into Metaverse

Which VR Headset Would You Buy?

If you are excited for the metaverse, make sure you have a VR headset that acts as a gate to the virtual world.
Below are four of the top devices in the market, take a look and let me know which one you'd prefer?

• 1. Oculus Quest 2
  
  From Meta, the company that pioneered wireless VR, Oculus Quest 2 is an evolution of the popular Quest headset. With Quest 2, Oculus makes a multi-generational leap in processing power with the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Platform offering higher AI capability and 6GB of RAM. The new display features 1832 x 1920 pixels per eye -- the company's highest resolution display yet. With 50% more pixels than the original Quest, everything from multiplayer games and productivity apps to 360-degree videos look better than ever.

• 2. HTC Vive Cosmos Elite
  
  If you want to level up your experience to 2880 x 1700 combined pixel resolution, and if you want full-room playability with best-in-class room tracking, the Vive Cosmos is worth a look. It's an upgrade to the original Cosmos, and because the system is designed with interoperability in mind, you can create your own VR gaming experience with other HTC components.

• 3. Sony PlayStation VR
  
  At the risk of starting a war, PS4 and PS5 currently reign supreme in the console-based gaming world, and if you have either unit and think a VR spin on gaming could be cool, this one is for you. Even though it's now a few years old, Sony's VR headset capably upgrades the PlayStation experience with VR gaming and a great cinema experience. It's also a relatively affordable option these days, with units available for less than $400. Consider it a gateway drug for the world of VR.

• 4. Pimax Vision 8K Plus
  
  If you want an immersive PC experience, and if you have a gaming PC that exceeds the somewhat beefy minimum required specs, the latest from Pimax is a knockout. The dual 3840 x 2160 RGB pixel matrix panels render a high-resolution image that is upscaled to 4K. It's precisely those two 4K screens, plus VR that runs at 90Hz (and 110Hz in an experimental mode), that make this unit so darned immersive.
