Recommended VR devices

This page explains VR devices supported by Virtual Cast.

It would be best to try all devices.
When trying out, pay attention to the differences in the field of view, how wide the tracking works when moving your arms, etc.

The choice may depend on your budget and space available to use.
Take the information on this page as a mere opinion when choosing a device.

Windows Mixed Reality is a mixed reality platform developed by Microsoft.
Supported devices are being developed by various manufacturers.

• WindowsMR is produced by various manufactures and all of them is compatible.
• All the connection required is binded into a single cable (which separates into a USB and a display cable at one end), so it is effortless to set up.
• Some headsets have a flip-up mechanism that allows you to quickly put on and remove the HMD. This feature is very useful when debugging VCI.
• Some headsets do not have a microphone. If this is the case, you must prepare it separately.
• It looses tracking when you swing your hands to your sides and back.

• Virtual Cast supports HTC Vive Pro as well.
• By purchasing optional Vive trackers, you can track feet and elbows as well.
• The unique form factor of the controller may lack some intuitiveness.
• The default setup uses a rubber band to fix the HMD on your head. Replacing the band with Vive Delux Audio Strap will improve the fit and the balance.
• As Vive uses lighthouses, it is less frequent to lose track of controllers. But you need to place the base stations on a higher place if you want to raise your hands high.
• Higher number of users.

• Oculus Rift S is the successor to original Oculus Rift, so the original Oculus Rift is no longer on sale.
• Does not have optional controllers like Vive trackers, as of May 2019.
• Though it may be somewhat less intuitive compared to the original Touch controller, its natural shape allows you to control and act intuitively.
• It has improved headband with a dial mechanism and cushions. Mounting is much easier and comfortable.
