Best VR Headsets 2017

This post is about devices which can take us anywhere we want for e.g. fly in space, or deep dive in ocean, or stand on top of a mountain, or simply sit on a beach enjoying the waves. These devices can create an illusion around us which is just real.

The more real it is the more expensive these machines are. They do that just like nature does it i.e. by stimulating our senses and the world where they take us is called as the virtual world, and what we experience is called as “virtual reality” which is the temporary reality for us. The devices which do this are called “Virtual Reality Headsets” or VR Headsets in short , or sometimes as virtual reality set.

We will see 30 such magical pieces of hi-tech hardware and software based great looking devices and see how the features are different and how features change with price.

Irrespective of whether they do or don’t do certain things, these are the top rated vr headsets in the lot of tens of hundreds of VR headsets.

So let’s start from the most expensive among these.

Below devices are below $4000

Microsoft Hololens Development Edition, Price $3808.48

Microsoft Hololens Development Edition

BUY NOW ON AMAZON

This works very differently than others. Microsoft calls it as mixed reality which is something similar to augmented reality but not exactly same. By using this VR headset the user can interact with high definition 3D holograms by scaling them to the real world context. This allows the user to interact with both, the hologram as well as the real world. For example, a digital (3D hologram) dog scaled up to the size of the real dog is sitting near my chair right now as I’m typing this post. I can play with the dog (other than touching it) as well as type this. This headset is a development edition and so it is a very new VR headset.

Key features:

  • You can interact with the holograms in three ways gaze, gesture and voice.
  • The weight of this headset is distributed around; therefore it reduces pressure on nose and ears, making it comfortable to wear.
  • There is an adjustment wheel in this headset which changes its diameter of the head ring. So, it can fit large number of adults.
  • It has transparent high definition holographic lenses and a highly advanced optical projection system. These two works together to create multi-dimensional color images within fractions of a sec, thereby making it feel very real.

Key specifications:

  • Head tracking sensors: Yes
  • Resolution (per eye): Not Applicable
  • Weight: 579 g
  • Field of view: Not Applicable

At roughly $4000 it was really expensive but it was wow. Isn’t it?

Now we have VR headsets which are below $1000.

Conclusion

We started this post with “Mixed Reality” putting 3D holograms in our real worlds giving us to interact with the real world as well as the hologram.

Then we saw several virtual reality sets which take us to “Virtual Reality” where we forget the real world and get immersed in the virtual world with amazing technologies to show us everything in 3D as well as all around us, make us hear sounds like in real world and react to our movements instantly to amaze us.

Plus we also saw little lesser functionality VR headsets which can do only limited but they are really good VR headsets in their category, finally culminating with Google Cardboard which is the most dumbest and most cheapest of all VR headsets but it does what it is supposed to do,, which is to show us a good virtual reality.

So this was the amazing world of these top rated VR headsets which makes virtual reality as real for us.

Which one do you think will be the best VR headsets 2017?
