Ask HN: Which VR Headset to Get?

If you are planning on using your phone, I suggest getting an official Google Cardboard unit.

There are plenty of other phone holder style units but they may not work with the cardboard app(Which has a large amount demos/apps)

If you are looking for something more advanced and can wait a bit, I would do that. I would expect the console gamming systems will be pushing out some new offerings soon.

Occulus is an option but from my understanding it is married to FaceBook/Meta and that is a risky proposition IMHO.

This is good enough to play around with on the cheap, but I don't think it holds a candle to dedicated devices. It's all I have right now, but I'm planning to upgrade soon.

this is equivalent to suggesting plugging a keyboard and mouse into your phone when asking for laptop recommendations.
