How to Choose Your VR Headset

Choosing a VR headset can be overwhelming. Here are the key factors to consider before making your decision in Australia.

💻

Do you have a gaming PC?

PC-tethered headsets offer the best visuals but require a capable gaming rig. Standalone headsets work without any additional hardware.

🎯

What will you use it for?

Gaming, fitness, education, and social VR all have different requirements. Consider your primary use case before choosing.

📏

How much space do you have?

Room-scale VR requires a clear play area of at least 2×2 metres. Stationary VR can be enjoyed from a chair or standing in a small space.
