Virtual reality isn't only for game players or technology enthusiasts anymore—it's for everyone who'd like to play, learn, explore, or just have a good time in an entirely different way.
VR headsets are smarter, quicker, and more comfortable than before. Some of them operate on their own, and others link up to a console or PC. Whether it’s for gaming, school projects, creative work, or just chilling, there’s something for everyone.
Here’s a look at the top VR headsets this year and what makes each one worth checking out.
