Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that is gaining ground in the mainstream. Even though it has been around for a while, only recently has it gained significant attention from users. So far, the gaming industry appears to be leading the line in areas where VR technology is implemented. However, more real use cases are beginning to emerge. With this we’ve also seen an increased availability of VR headsets, which are the primary access points to the technology. VR headsets come in different categories, and in this article we will be taking a look at the best VR headsets for all budgets.



As mentioned above, VR headsets are the primary entry points into the realm of VR technology. They are like the present-day smartphones that enable us to access to the internet. These gadgets portray similar trajectories in the way that they have developed. For instance, most of us will remember how smartphones came about, and how their availability has sky rocketed.

Back then, a little over a decade ago, smartphones were exclusively reserved for a certain class of people who could afford them. They were expensive and limited in supply, and there were hardly any options for lower budget gadgets for the general public. Today the story is different. The high-end smartphones still exist in the market for those who prefer and can afford them. However, there are numerous options that allow users at all levels to access the same services on a lower budget. This is the same idea that leads us to talk about the best VR headsets for all budgets.

VR Is Going To Mainstream Soon

There is no doubt that in a few year's time VR technology will become the order of the day. The same way that accessing the internet and various other services using smartphones has become a regular part of our days. Education, entertainment, art, military training, and even social media are areas that are already experiencing the benefits of VR technology.

Take for instance the social media platform Stan World, which is built by combining AI, VR and blockchain technology. It is a social media platform that allows for remote social engagements. Users on Stan World can interact with celebrities and influencers, attend concerts and shows in the virtual space, even as a group. In addition, users get rewarded for their activities within the space. This is an innovation designed for public adoption, rather than being consumed by an exclusive few.



The same idea applies to areas like education and training, and other areas that require wider participation. The only way to achieve this goal is by making affordable gadgets, in this case, VR headsets, accessible to the masses.

Therefore, in considering the best VR headsets for all budgets, we will take a look at a few of the more affordable products. These are VR headsets that may not be as costly as the likes of Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, Samsung VR and Samsung Gear VR, that cost a few hundreds of dollars. We will look at the more reasonable VR headset options that will still allow users to enjoy the benefits of the new technology.

Conclusion
