VR and the metaverse are two terms that we've all heard a lot about over the last year or so. The metaverse is something, but what exactly is VR? Is it really the future? While I don't have an answer about virtual reality being a daily way of computing in the future, I do know what VR is, and I've even spent a little bit of time in the metaverse (mostly talking to myself). There aren't a whole lot of options when it comes to VR headsets, but the options you do have are from big-name companies. From Meta's Quest 2 (formerly the Oculus Quest 2) or Sony's PlayStation VR headset to HTC Vive Flow that looks like it's straight from the future or Steam's Valve index -- your bases are covered, regardless of budget or capabilities.
