List of virtual reality headsets explained

There are two primary categories of virtual reality (VR) headsets:

Other categories include mobile headsets, which combine a smartphone with a mount, and hybrid solutions like the Oculus Quest with the Oculus Link feature that allows the standalone device to also serve as a tethered headset.

In addition, VR headsets are categorized by the degrees of freedom they provide:

3 degrees of freedom, which only tracks the rotation of the player's head.

6 degrees of freedom, which tracks both the position and the rotation of the player.
