About products and suppliers

Although technology such as graphics and processing power has advanced to a level where video game makers have made games appear so realistic and human-like, there is always more room to make the game experience more immersive. Imagine being able to take humans inside the game or make them able to virtually take a peek inside the interior of a building that has yet to be built. This is the kind of experience made possible by VR headsets.

What is a VR headset?

A VR headset is a device used to display a computer-generated environment that tries to deliver as immersive an experience as possible. Some applications of virtual reality, on the other hand, attempt to mimic real-world scenarios as closely as possible for training and educational purposes. All VR headsets work off some kind of processing computer, like a personal desktop computer, as with the VR headsets for PC. Technology moves fast, taking virtual reality to more advanced levels. Upcoming VR headsets increasingly need fewer wires, such as wireless VR headsets, which connect to their processing computer via high-speed gigabit wireless connection such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Even newer ones, such as the standalone VR headsets, do away with separate processors entirely and pack the processor right onto the goggles.

Who uses VR headsets?

The demand for widespread VR headset usage was encouraged by the videogame community. While ever-sharper graphics and faster processors continue to be developed, there is a constant clamor to experience being part of the game itself, not just a person controlling a keyboard and a mouse. This is how the first generation of VR headsets came to be. VR headsets with controllers allowed players to simulate being a boxer, a soldier, a tennis player, and many other sports. Top VR headsets are starting to be offered as VR headsets with full body tracking that do away with hand controllers entirely. This allows users to interact with the game using hand gestures or by holding more realistic controllers, such as sports rackets and gun-shaped controllers, making the virtual experience even more immersive.
