Owned by Meta, <\/span>Oculus<\/span><\/a> is one of the leaders of the VR market today.

Although it\u2019s common for many to dismiss the <\/span>HTC Vive<\/span><\/a> as another niche gaming peripheral, it\u2019s widely considered one of the best VR headsets because of what it offers. Primed as gaming\u2019s next big thing, the Vive employs room-scale tracking. It intelligently tracks your body as you physically walk around virtual spaces and interact with environments.
