List of virtual reality headsets

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, version 20H2, through Windows 11, version 23H2 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.
