The standalone HMD segment is benefiting from rapid innovation. However, they typically require a high-end gaming computer to maximize their superior pixel count, refresh rates, and feature sets. The highest-end VR headsets offer incredible resolutions and advanced features like eye-tracking. Xbox head Phil Spencer recently reiterated that he has no current plans to bring VR to Xbox consoles.
However, the company is preparing a new version for release in 2022. The PlayStation VR remains the only console-based VR headset.
We used to see VR headsets powered by smartphones, and while those still exist, they have largely been phased out of the market. Thankfully, most of the earlier VR devices' problems have been solved with the most recent HMD designs. Not to mention, headset manufacturers have struggled to make their devices comfortable for years. When VR headsets first hit the market, early adopters had to accept low-resolution displays, poorly optimized optics, low frame rates, and often poor tracking accuracy. So if you're one of the early adopters with a first-gen headset or someone who's abstained from VR altogether, now might be the time to take another look. VR technology has evolved quite a bit in the last five years.
