Technological advancement has revolutionised our everyday lives, from the megapixels in our camera to smart assistants. On the scheme of things, VR is still a relatively new addition but has already been pegged as the future – whether that’s in the gaming sphere or attending a concert of your favourite artist. The possibilities are endless.
But what actually is VR? To the uninitiated, these headsets transform you to another world. From the comfort of your living room, it takes you to a different time and place. You can go to space, swim with sharks or go back in time with a super realistic picture and surround sound.
One of the most popular models on the market was created by Facebook. The Meta devices (previously known as the Oculus) have made VR more accessible to your everyday consumer with a wireless design so that you can roam free into the virtual world.
The Meta Quest 2 was awarded the ES Best top pick of all the models tested and there’s very good reason for that. The device is the most advanced to date. It’s super lightweight, comfortable with adjustable straps and even boasts a space for those who wear glasses so that no one has to miss out on the fun.
It comes with two motion controllers that become an extension to your hands. That being said, you don’t actually need them, you can just use your fingers (although it’s less accurate). There’s also more pixels than ever to ensure the next-gen graphics won’t destroy the fourth wall.
You don’t need any additional consoles, phone or PC connected either. As soon as it arrives, let the games begin.
This Amazon Prime Day, you can get your hands on the device for less.
