Don't think this one will get many testers... as it's only VR userfriendly... such a shame...
I just tried it with my Valve Index and it worked perfectly. I think HTC should work fine since it'll use SteamVR.Working fine with HTC VIVE ?
It WILL get many testers from those that have vr headsets. It says its VR in the title. Having input from people without one is pointless.Don't think this one will get many testers... as it's only VR userfriendly... such a shame...
dm meWell i'm 58 and i could get my leg in that position if i wanted to lol
If you have one, then try it.works with oculus rift dk2?
Used older headsets such as the HTC Vive or original Oculus Rift (CV1) are on eBay for about $150-300 depending on condition and accessories. The only issues with those are lower resolution, more complicated tracking, and they don't sell replacement parts anymore so if a cable or something breaks you're going to have to pay inflated prices on the used market for a replacement. There are other headsets out there, but those are the big 2.What would be the cheapest VR that can run this? I was looking to buy one for some time. I need one that can run the games decently but is also cheaper than others.
Thanks for the great summary for people without a VR headset yet! There are so many new headsets today and new ones coming up.Used older headsets such as the HTC Vive or original Oculus Rift (CV1) are on eBay for about $150-300 depending on condition and accessories. The only issues with those are lower resolution, more complicated tracking, and they don't sell replacement parts anymore so if a cable or something breaks you're going to have to pay inflated prices on the used market for a replacement.

I don't have any experience with the Window Mixed Reality headsets but they tend to be on the lower end in price and quality. There is a wide range of headsets and some are better than others. They are hard to recommend because for around the same price you could just buy a better used headset as mentioned above. The HP Reverb G2 ($599) that just launched is supposed to be really good though.
Now if you want to buy something new you are going to get better features, but obvious at a higher price. As I just said the Reverb G2 ($599) is a solid option but on the pricier side. The Oculus Rift S ($299) is also a good headset, but I wouldn't buy it because of the next headset I'm about to mention. The Oculus Quest 2 ($299 for the 64GB or $399 for the 256GB model) is what I have and my personal recommendation as it can do everything the Rift S can but better, and can do wireless PC VR if you have a WiFi 6 capable router. It can also run as a standalone (No PC) headset but that is just for Oculus Store games. If you use a USB Type-C cable you can play any PC games with a wired connection, and while Oculus sells their fancy fiber optic cable ($79) you just buy a regular 5m cable on Amazon (~$20). One last thing about Oculus headsets in general, Facebook owns Oculus so a Facebook account is required for their new headsets, and will be required on the older ones too in a few years. If that makes you uncomfortable then maybe look elsewhere.
Lastly, do your own research. This is just a broad overview to help you get started. If you are serious about getting into VR then get ready because it is really fun (and for more than just beating your meat). Also, make sure your PC is up to spec. I think most games recommend around a GTX 1070 to run smoothly at high settings.
