There has been a plethora of announcements on virtual-reality headsets in the past six months. Barely a day goes by before someone is announcing a new model, new software, or promising the best experience.
Facebook, Google, Sony, Samsung, AMD, Razer, Nvidia, Valve and HTC, to name but a few, have all tipped their hats into the VR ring, hoping their combination of upcoming hardware and software will make VR the must-have experience of the future.
But there's a lot to get right before VR becomes truly immersive technology outside of tech demos. Latency, tracking, horsepower, resolution and form factor all have to be solved, and then there's the question of whether VR headsets should be tethered to PCs and consoles or purely standalone devices.
For all the perceived difficulty, truly gorgeous VR is something to behold - a game-changer of epic proportions. So with all that you have heard and read, do you believe that virtual-reality headsets will be the next big thing in tech?
