Facebook, one of the world's largest social media platforms, has changed its name to Meta, and vows to be a pioneer in developing the Metaverse. To be part of this growing trend, one must first develop the right tools. In recent years, major manufacturers have launched a variety of VR glasses to provide the most realistic and exciting immersive experience for users. VR glasses generally are divided mainly into four main categories. Let’s check them out!



Features and Types of VR Glasses


1. Mobile VR glasses

These glasses are the simplest way to experience VR. Activate the VR mode content on your mobile phone, insert the VR glasses to start the virtual experience.


2. All-in-one VR glasses

As the name suggests, there is no need for these glasses to be connected to a mobile phone or computer. Use directly to enjoy a wire-free experience. These glasses are convenient and have a high CP value and suitable for new beginners to VR!


3. Computer VR glasses

If you're looking for the ultimate in image quality and performance, computer VR glasses are your choice! Once the glasses are connected to your computer, you can play different VR titles via the gaming platform. These glasses require high computer performance so are more expensive. However, these glasses are the more versatile, realistic and comfortable choice among all VR glasses.


4. Gaming VR glasses

The most popular of all console VR glasses is the PlayStation VR which allows you to enjoy virtual games once connected to a PS4 or PS5. Although they can only be connected to selected consoles, the console VR goggles are designed to provide a deep interactive gaming experience. If you like playing e-games, you should pick this type!



Shopping Tips


1. Degree of Freedom

Degree of Freedom (DoF) is mainly divided into 3DoF and 6DoF. Players can, according to the type of game, choose VR glasses for a fixed-point or motion experience.

  • 3DoF: The focus is on a fixed-point experience. The glasses can sense head movement in a space-limited environment but positioning accuracy is lower and mainly for viewing 360-degree photos, videos or light action VR games.
  • 6DoF: The focus is on a motion experience. The VR view changes with the player's position offering precise positioning and less latency. This increases user interaction with the virtual world, but requires a larger physical space for position detection.

2. Field of View

The larger the FOV (Field of View) of VR glasses, the wider the viewing area. An average person's FOV is about 60 degrees, but VR glasses generally offer a field of view of 90 to 110 degrees. There are some VR glasses in the market that can achieve a super wide field of view but be aware that the image will be distorted slightly.


3. Applicable Platforms

Certain games and programs are only available on specific platforms or devices. Check that the VR glasses support the programs you want before you buy them.


4. Comfort

Consider buying VR goggles that suit the shape of your head and face or is lighter for less fatigue during long play durations.
