That’s it that’s seriously all they told us. We know that it will be a premium headset rather than a competitor to the Quest 2, that will have have some new lens technology, and that they plan to release it sometime in 2022. The problem is they didn’t give us any details about it. 5) Project Cambria by Meta (Facebook)įacebook (now Meta) announced this device at Facebook connect 2021. So start saving money now because Apple isn’t known for selling products at a discounted price. If this device is real, then I desperately want to buy it over all of the other options. That said, the rumor is that Apple is working on a high-end VR/AR device that will have the processing power of the M1 chip (which would blow the Quest 2 out of the water). We only have vague rumors right now as to if Apple is really going to release a VR / AR headset. I debated whether to even mention this device. It looks like the following premium headsets are all going to drop and crush the Quest 2 on specs (but probably not on price). That said, in Fall of 2022, I expect the number of headsets on the market to increase.

But unless you’re a PC VR enthusiast or fanatically hate Facebook as a company it’s difficult to recommend those headsets to anybody. And that’s the whole list of VR headsets I’d consider buying right now.Ĭompetitive PC VR headsets exist, like the Vive Focus 3 ($1300), Reverb G2 ($600), and Pico Neo 3 Link (listed above). And if I wanted the best resolution on the market and didn’t care about price (or standalone VR), I’d buy the Varjo Aero. If I were buying a headset today, I’d buy a Quest 2. And I desperately want one but can’t afford to fork over the cash for it right now. That said, if you want the best visual VR experience on the market today, this is what you can buy. You’ll be tethered to your PC and spending $2,000+ on what’s effectively a beta product. The Varjo Aero barely makes the list because it’s the only commercially available PC VR headset with a PPD (pixel per degree) of 35! For those who don’t know, when you get to a pixel per degree of 35, it becomes difficult to visually distinguish virtual reality from reality. That is until Fall of 2022 when I expect future headsets to blow this one away (see below).
That said, if you’re a PC VR enthusiast or you just hate Facebook so much that you outright refuse to buy a Quest 2 then I could see this headset being very appealing. What’s special about this headset? Well… Not much really as it’s nearly identical in specs to a Quest 2.
In mid-April 2022 the Pico Neo 3 Link was announced for sale in Europe for 450 Euros. Most of these headsets aren’t competitive on price, have lesser specs than the Quest 2, and don’t offer a standalone experience. Year Releasedīefore you get obsessed with this device list, know that I wouldn’t really recommend any of the headsets on the list (besides the Quest 2). Around the time the Quest 2 was released, the only headset beating its resolution was the Reverb G2 which was selling for double the price (and doesn’t offer a standalone experience). The big one for me is the resolution of the screen. The Quest 2 is also competitive on specs. And while the Quest 2 CAN play PC VR games via a wire, it doesn’t HAVE to. It’d completely kill the experience (mainly because I play workout games). I can’t imagine using a physical wire while playing most VR games. The big one for me is that it’s a standalone device.
