#vr headset

Valve has confirmed its next wave of gaming hardware, announcing a new Steam Machine, a new Steam Controller, and a new virtual reality headset called Steam Frame. The last major reveal is Steam Frame, Valve’s new VR headset. Previews from gaming outlets say the headset aims to offer freedom of movement without cables. And since there are a lot of VR headsets in the market, and new games being released all the time, you might wanna get in on it. To answer that question, we divided the list of VR headsets into three tiers, from the cheapest and easiest way to experience VR, down to the most immersive but rather expensive setups. How this works is you download a VR game or app on the AppStore/Play Store, slot in your phone on the headset, and that's it. It is also limited to orientational tracking -- which means it will only respond to your head movements, as compared to a legitimate VR headset that has more sophisticated tracking technology. It is also very portable, unlike high-end VR headsets that are tethered to a separate machine.
