![]() ![]() Notes Kohn, “specifically, gamers can play the VR game HALF LIFE: ALYX, which is supposedly the best VR game to date but so far only playable on higher-level headsets.” It is, however, the most consumer-friendly VR headset available because it allows users to tether it to their own PC - something the previous model did not - and it offers more gaming access. It hit the market last year, so you’ll be getting the most up-to-date Oculus technology, though it’s not a huge step beyond the Oculus Quest. The most exciting new headset according to IndieWire VR expert Eric Kohn is the Oculus Quest 2, which recently landed on the coveted list of Oprah’s Favorite Things. Filmmakers and musicians have begun using it to explore ways to share their work, and the results could even address the industry’s current exhibition and creative challenges.” Wrote IndieWire’s Eric Kohn, “The technology now provides much more than interactive movies and games: It’s the ultimate panacea to sheltering in place, where people can gather without inhaling the same air in immersive spaces. Most importantly, while the world is still very much in the thick of a pandemic, VR allows users to interact with crowds in real life. Games are of course one of the most popular ways to use VR technology, but other experiences, like virtual film festivals or concerts, are becoming more widespread. But more and more people are starting to discover what the world of VR, which allows you to strap on a headset and become fully immersed in a new environment, actually entails. While plenty of sci-fi movies have predicted a future dominated by virtual reality, the technology isn’t quite that widespread - yet.
