2016 was definitely a year of great development in the virtual reality industry. During the year, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Sony PlayStation VR and Samsung Gear VR began to gradually meet consumers or become mainstream.

For a friend who does not know much about it, virtual reality is an immersive experience that uses a head sensor to track our movements in the virtual three-dimensional world to provide a more immersive game or movie experience.

Actually, virtual reality appeared as early as the 1990s, but it was only recently that it began to re-emerge and became a means to change the game and entertainment industry in the future. So for the average user, which one should he choose to buy a virtual reality headset? Which one is best for him? Let’s take a look at some of the best virtual reality headsets on the market.

HTC Vive is a virtual reality platform jointly created by HTC and PC game maker Valve. After connecting with a PC, the experience comes from Valve's huge game world. Although the price of the HTC Vive is not cheap, it is currently one of the best virtual reality helmets on the market.

HTC Vive has built-in more than 70 sensors, providing 360-degree head tracking and 90Hz screen refresh rate, while reducing the delay effect through technology to avoid the user's dizziness and vomiting problems. In actual experience, we see that not all owners have dizziness when they wear Vive.

Although the number of games is not as compelling as the rival PlayStation VR, the key to HTC Vive's success is the Lighthouse Room Tracking System. By arranging the tracker around it allows us to perform significant body movements in the game. Therefore, HTC Vive can be regarded as one of the best virtual reality platforms on the market.

The current consumer version of the Oculus Rift is equipped with a 2160 x 1200 resolution screen with 233 million pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz.
