vr headset

The most affordable way is to use a smartphone-based VR headset. Options like the VR Box or Shinecon 6.0 Casque cost below PHP 1,000. You simply download VR apps or games, slot your smartphone (with a 4.5 to 6.5-inch display) into the headset, and start experiencing basic VR, which is suitable for watching videos or light gaming.

High-end, PC-powered VR headsets have been available in the Philippines. For instance, the HTC Vive, noted for offering a complete VR experience, was officially sold at retailers like PCHub with a price tag of around PHP 49,999 to PHP 59,950. Valve has also announced a new wireless VR headset called the Steam Frame, which won't require a PC connection.

Several companies have focused on wireless VR. Oculus (owned by Facebook) announced a planned $200 standalone wireless headset codenamed 'Pacific' for 2018. More recently, Valve confirmed its new VR headset, the Steam Frame, which is designed to be used wirelessly without a PC, aiming for greater freedom of movement.
