Luckily and thankfully, my girlfriend is amazing and surprised me with an early birthday present.Īfter over-hearing me talking about VR to some of my normal sim buddies, she plainly stated, “I’m getting you the computer and VR rig that you want for your birthday, just tell me which ones I need to get.” Haven’t had time to research which one is best Up until recently, I had been on the very same fence that I know many simulation users are on right now – they know they want VR, they know that VR is the direction the industry is heading towards but, we’re going to hold out just a bit longer… But, why? Also, as much as I wish it were the case, I’m not working for a VR manufacturer and trying to shamelessly plug one product or another – although, if any of them wanted me to, I would probably jump at the opportunity. This is more aimed toward the individuals on the fence about purchasing a computer that can handle VR and then a VR headset itself. Compared to other forms of simulation hardware, it really is the brand new kid on the block and before I get too far into this article, no this isn’t a, “should I buy one?” Or “which VR is better,” type of article. Virtual reality has been on the market for some time but comparatively speaking, is still a technology in its infancy.
