VR HEADSET PRESENTATION

PC BASED VR HEADSET

Computer-based headsets are currently the most popular! We distinguish between two types of headsets based on their operating principle. Based on base station tracking, as well as more compact ones using so-called “Inside-out tracking”. The former requires a minimum of two tracking systems, completely separate from the headset, to help determine the position of the player and the game followers in space. In the latter, these sensors are housed in the glasses, making it easier to transport and install these VR systems. It is important to note that systems based on base station tracking are much more accurate, so we prefer it for precise systems.

All in one

So-called “all in one” headsets are most advantageous when it comes to events. These glasses do not require a computer and base station, or even a power supply, as they are equipped with a built-in processor, storage, cameras and battery. However, this comes at a price, its performance lags behind an average PC VR headset.

OCULUS QUEST

It is perhaps one of the best headsets available now and not just among the “ALL IN ONE” headsets.

These glasses are unique, as they can work completely independently, but we can even use them as a full-fledged headset when connected to a PC. It competes with the real great ones in its specifications.

The great advantage of this is that we can perform several tasks with it. On weekdays, it can be connected to a PC as a display device for a high-resolution project, and on weekends we can take it with us to the event.

It’s important to note that the Quest runs on android-based apps, which is important because in the early stages of development, it’s worth deciding what purpose to build the app for: mobility or performance is more important.

Best value for your money.

OCULUS Go

If you want to go beyond the phone docking VR headsets, then this is a good option. It falls short of the headsets listed above. It is not able to determine its position in space and it can only follow a controller with one hand, a gyroscope, so it is not suitable for running games. Recommended for viewing video content.

Smartphone VR headsets

There are several brands on the market that offer quality smartphone VR headsets at affordable prices (e.g. Samsung GearVR, Homido). These devices don’t differ much in operation from a paper VR headset, they just look more impressive. Recommended for viewing video content only.
