What is virtual reality and is it for me?

Unlike consoles and gaming PCs, virtual reality headsets have transparent lenses that mean you can look at your actual surroundings instead of having them completely replaced with computer-generated images. These lenses project images over what you're seeing, and those images are designed to feel part of your actual surroundings. So you can experience things as if they were tangible, with all the dimensions and 3D-ness of reality. Virtual reality definitely feels more sci-fi than actual reality. But even though it's not totally mainstream yet, there's an abundance of technology to play with, and it's only going to increase in popularity. If you're tech-obsessed and like the idea of pulling up a web browser in the middle of your living room, watching animals run around your dining table, or strolling along a Caribbean beach from your kitchen, you could definitely have some serious fun with a set of virtual reality goggles. Not forgetting the fact that they can also be used to watch live events, landing you a front-row seat (of sorts) at your favourite gigs, concerts and comedy stand-ups.

Experience a whole different level of gaming with VR

Virtual reality brings gaming to life in a way that gamers could only have dreamt of only years ago. With a VR headset, you'll be fully immersed in your game, with all-encompassing sound and visuals that plant you right in the middle of the mission. From guitar games to thrilling quests and mind-bending puzzles, VR games span all genres, and are increasingly available with multi-player options. Not sure if VR gaming is for you?
