List of virtual reality headsets

Comparison of several notable VR headsets and VR headset types, including technical specifications

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

Standalone – devices that have all necessary components to provide virtual reality experiences integrated into the headset. Mainstream standalone VR platforms include:
- Oculus Mobile SDK, developed by Oculus VR for its own standalone headsets and the Samsung Gear VR. (The SDK has been deprecated in favor of OpenXR, released in July 2021.)^[1]
Tethered – headsets that act as a display device to another device, like a PC or a video game console, to provide a virtual reality experience. Mainstream tethered VR platforms include:
- SteamVR, part of the Steam service by Valve. The SteamVR platform uses the OpenVR SDK to support headsets from multiple manufacturers, including HTC, Windows Mixed Reality headset manufacturers, and Valve themselves. A list of supported video games can be found here.
- Oculus PC SDK for Oculus Rift and Oculus Rift S. The list of supported games is here.
- Windows Mixed Reality (also referred to as "Windows MR" or "WMR"), developed by Microsoft Corporation for Windows 10 PCs.
- PlayStation VR, developed by Sony Computer Entertainment for use with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (PlayStation VR2) home video game console.
- Open Source Virtual Reality (also referred to as "OSVR"). The list of supported games is here.

Comparison chart of per-eye headset resolutions

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:

3DoF: 3 degrees of freedom, which only tracks the rotation of the player's head.
6DoF: 6 degrees of freedom, which tracks both the position and the rotation of the player.
