Virtual reality is more accessible now than ever. That being said, not every method of experiencing it is equal. If you are curious about it, but aren’t willing to spend serious cash on the experience, there are some super cheap options to start out with.If you have a smartphone you can buy cheap rigs that turn your phone into a VR headset. This is how I started with VR, and if you haven’t had any experience with higher end headsets, then even these cheap options can be mind-blowing for a first time user. There are a million versions of these cheap headsets, but generally the best places to start looking for one that suits your device now are Ebay and Amazon. The cheaper headsets can serve as a basic introduction to VRIt’s important to keep in mind that these mobile phone headsets are nothing compared to dedicated VR headsets, so keep your expectations in check. The cheap options have extremely limited interactivity and the best you can really do with a smartphone VR headset is view 360 degree videos and VR experiences with no interactivity.But, if your experience with a smartphone headset is enough to entice you towards VR, then I wouldn’t mess with any other halfway options and instead invest in a fully immersive and functional VR headset. Meta’s Meta Quest 2 headset is an all in one VR headset that’s capable of playing just about every VR experience and game out there. If you want to see everything VR has to offer, then this is the best way to do it without spending ridiculous amounts of money. The Meta Quest 2 VR HeadsetThe cheapest version of the Meta Quest 2 still costs about $600, which is a harder price to justify just for real world emulations alone, but if you’re interested in seeing what the virtual world can offer, then the price is more than worth the immersive experience.
