Who makes the best virtual reality headsets for computers?
For us here at Mixed Reality South Africa the choice for computer tethered headsets is either the HTC VIVE virtual reality headsets or the Oculus Rift Series Virtual Reality headsets. Both the HTC VIVE and the Oculus Rift Series headsets are considered high-end virtual reality headsets and offers 6 Degree of Freedom VR experience. In simple terms 6 DOF means that you can move around in Virtual Reality and the headset and controllers are tracked. (It is very similar to moving in the virtual world as you would in the real world).
These headsets need high-powered computers to drive them and they take maximum advantage of powerful graphic cards to provide optimal graphics and performance.[vc_row bklyn_section_anchor_id=”HTC VIVE”][ut_header title_linebreak_mobile=”on” lead_linebreak_mobile=”on” title=”HTC VIVE Virtual Reality Headset”]Immerse yourself in the world of virtual reality with movements that make you feel like you’re in the action.
