Picking The Right Head Mounted Display For You

Introduction

I’ve been a VR enthusiast since the ’90s, but it wasn’t until recently that I started to think seriously about buying my own HMD. The technology has come a long way since then, and there’s no shortage of options for anyone looking to get into the world of VR. However, with so many choices out there it can be difficult to know which product is right for you. That’s why we’ve put together this guide: we want to help you find the best head mounted display (HMD) available today!

Wearable tech has come a long way, and there’s no shortage of options.

Wearable tech is a booming market, and there are many different types of products on the market today. From fitness trackers to smartwatches, you can use wearable tech to track your health or make your life easier. For example, if you have an Apple Watch and an iPhone 7 Plus (or newer), then you already have all the hardware needed for AirPods–just pair them up with iOS 11 or later!

If you want something more stylish than AirPods but aren’t ready to jump into full-fledged headphones just yet, try Bose SoundSport Free wireless earbuds ($249). They’re sweatproof and water-resistant so they’ll last through even the most intense workouts without giving up on sound quality–and there’s no cord getting in between them either!

Head-mounted displays (HMD) are the most immersive way to experience virtual reality (VR).

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are the most immersive way to experience virtual reality (VR). In fact, they’re often called “glasses” because they look like regular glasses and fit over your eyes.

That’s because unlike other VR devices like Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR which place the screen in front of your face, an HMD uses two lenses to magnify images that appear on the screen so they appear life size. This allows you to immerse yourself into a video game or movie as if it were real life–or even better!

There are many different types of HMDs on the market today, each with their own pros and cons.

They differ in shape and size, but they all serve the same basic purpose: to give you an immersive experience while you’re doing whatever it is that you want to do. They can be used for gaming, entertainment and business applications (and more). As such there are many different types of head mounted displays available; some have built-in screens while others require separate devices like smartphones or tablets to provide content for display inside them. The features vary depending on what you want your HMD for – if it’s just for watching movies at home then maybe something basic like Google Cardboard will suffice; however if it’s something more serious then perhaps looking at higher quality options from companies such as Samsung or Sony would make sense instead?

How much money you want to spend is important when deciding which HMD to buy.

How much money you want to spend is important when deciding which HMD to buy. The more money you spend, the better quality HMD you can get. For example, if you’re looking for a premium headset with all the bells and whistles (like wireless connectivity), then expect to pay around $300 or more — but if all you need is something basic that works well enough while playing games or watching videos on your phone or computer screen, then $40-$50 will suffice.

The same goes for features: If having multiple display options is important to your experience with VR technology and/or AR/MR applications (augmented reality), then look out for models that offer these capabilities — otherwise it may not matter whether they have them or not since most people won’t use them anyway!

As far as comfort goes… well… let’s just say there are tradeoffs involved here too! You see… some people prefer heavier headsets because they feel more secure when wearing them; others prefer lighter models because they don’t feel weighed down by their gear; still others don’t mind either way as long as what matters most remains comfortable regardless which type of headgear one chooses over another type – namely comfortability =)

Ease-of-use should be a consideration for anyone who’s not a tech wizard.

Ease-of-use should be a consideration for anyone who’s not a tech wizard. If you’re the kind of person who is easily intimidated by technology and needs instructions to operate your smartphone, then you probably don’t want to buy an expensive HMD that requires extensive setup time or training before you can use it.

If you’re just starting out with VR and have no idea what your options are, this guide will help point out some features worth looking at when shopping around for an HMD.

Features like eye tracking can make using an HMD more intuitive and enjoyable.

Eye tracking is the ability for an HMD to follow your gaze and make it more intuitive, enjoyable and comfortable. For example, if you are using a VR headset with eye tracking features, then it will know where you’re looking at all times–and that can be helpful when using menus or selecting options in games.

Eye tracking also makes VR experiences more immersive: if there’s something on-screen that catches your attention (like an object), then the camera might shift focus toward this object without any input from you. This means that instead of having to dedicate mental energy towards figuring out what should be focused on next–you’ll already have been taken care of by the HMD’s software!

Comfort is key for prolonged use of any device you strap on your head or face.

Comfort is key for prolonged use of any device you strap on your head or face. The last thing you want is to be distracted by discomfort, especially when it’s something that you have to wear for hours at a time.

That said, comfort can depend on a lot of factors: the weight of the device, how it fits and where pressure points are felt if there are any, sweat buildup under hot conditions (if it’s wintertime in Canada now then this won’t apply much), etcetera.

We review some of the top products on the market today

  • HTC Vive Pro: The Vive Pro is a high-end device that offers an incredible virtual reality experience. It has dual OLED displays, a resolution of 2880 x 1600 and a refresh rate of 90Hz. It also comes with built-in headphones, so you don’t have to worry about getting tangled up with wires while using it.
  • Oculus Rift S: The Rift S is the latest iteration of Facebook’s flagship VR headset and brings some exciting improvements over its predecessor–including inside-out tracking technology that allows users to move around without needing external cameras or sensors (although these are still supported). In addition to featuring better visuals than its predecessor, this model also comes with integrated audio which makes it easier than ever before for newcomers who aren’t interested in buying additional equipment like controllers or tracking devices just yet!
