The consumer edition Rift uses a 2160 x 1200 resolution, working at 233 million pixels per second, with a 90Hz refresh rate. It’s high tech stuff, which matches the HTC Vive for refresh rate, but lags behind PlayStation VR. However, given its access to the power of latest PCs, it will be pushing a lot more pixels than Sony’s headset.

Samsung Gear VR

The Samsung Gear VR is lite version of oculus rift, given that the two companies collaborated for the technology.

The Gear VR is simply a case that uses a Samsung Galaxy smartphone as its processor and display. The handset simply slots in front of the lenses, into a Micro USB dock, and uses its Super AMOLED display as your screen. Slot in the phone, stick on the headset and you’re into your virtual reality experience. you must use a Samsung handset for using this.

Google Cardboard

Google announced its Cardboard virtual reality headset at I/O 2014 and unveiled version 2 at the 2015 conference. Popping a smartphone into a cardboard container and then strapping it to your head and it works, and it could become a low-cost way to experience virtual reality.

After all, your smartphone contains all the necessary gyroscopic sensors and positioning systems to accurately track your head movements. Related is Durovis’ Dive, which is essentially the same thing made of higher quality and more sweat-resistant materials.

With the popularity of Cardboard, Google decided it would release an even better one. Called Daydream, the device is pretty much a Gear VR but apparently there’s a whole slew of Android phones getting revamped to provide a better VR experience with Daydream. Companies making the handsets will also likely release their own mobile headsets.

There’s no official date for its release except an estimate for this fall. We’ll update the list to see if the Google VR headset – or any others running the Daydream platform – makes the cut then.

Take a look at the Top Disadvantages of Virtual Reality.

Microsoft HoloLens

Microsoft HoloLens, blends virtual and half augmented reality to make one of the most ambitious launches ever planned. The device merges real-world elements with virtual ‘holographic’ images, meaning you can look at your Minecraft world on your kitchen table, or walk around the surface of Mars in your living room.

Using Kinect-style tech to recognise gestures and voice commands, the headset has a 120-degree field of vision on both axes, and is capable of ‘high definition’ visuals, but it’s still a letterbox compared to the likes of Oculus and Valve. More importantly, however, there’s no connection to a PC – a full Windows 10 system is built into the headset and runs off a battery. No, we can’t wait to see how long that lasts either.

The Development Edition is available now for Windows Insider members with a price tag of $3,000.

Meta 2

Meta had a developer kit of its augmented reality headset in 2013 but it’s theMeta 2 that’s caught our attention. It looks similar to HoloLens with its large shape and helmet-like design.

At 90 degrees, it’s three times bigger than the original Meta, and its 2560 x 1440 display plus positional tracking allowing your hands to interact with what you see makes for a very promising device.

Razer OSVR HDK 2

Razer’s OSVR isn’t a rival to the likes of Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and Samsung Gear VR. There’s even a newer headset out aptly called the OSVR Hacker Developer Kit 2. It’s got better hardware specs, this time, around with 2160 x 1200 dual OLED display putting it right up against the big names. However, there’s still some comfort issues to work through.

FOVE VR

FOVE VR differs from the likes of Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR because it offers interactive eye-tracking. Inside the headset is an infrared sensor that monitors the wearer’s eyes; offering both a new control method and an edge on its competitors when it comes to realism.

With FOVE, simulated depth-of-field is possible, due to the system knowing exactly what you’re looking at, and as a result, the virtual should appear more real.

Zeiss VR One Plus

Like the Samsung Gear VR and the previous Zeiss One, the hardware power for the second-gen Zeiss branded headset comes from your smartphone. it will play ball with any iOS or Android handset with the latest model allowing larger sizes between 4.7 and 5.5 inches (it previously only fit phones up to 5.2 inches).

It packs a media player for the likes of pictures and YouTube videos and an AR app for augmented experiences, while the open-source Unity3D SDK (iOS and Android) means there’s plenty of scope for development.

Freefly VR headset

Freefly’s VR headset now compatible with the 200+ Google Cardboard apps, plus it rocks 42mm lenses and a 120-degree field of view while faux leather helps to keep things comfortable. It fits any smartphone with a screen between 4.7in and 6.1in, which is admittedly less than an Archos headset but still covers most flagships in 2016.

As well as featuring head-tracking via your phone’s accelerometer, one point of difference over the cheapest options is that Firefly comes with an odd little controller, named Glide, that you hold in one hand.
