List some of the top VR in 2016.

Some worthwhile VR headsets that were introduced in 2016 were :

HTC Vive
The headset is one of the heaviest among the competing devices. The headset has two tracking cameras and a two controllers. Multiple accessories may be an impediment. It is wired to the control station and that may be a tough thing to handle. It is a little expensive though. And you will need a PC with high end spec sheet for effective performance.

Oculus Rift
It is a big name in VR space. In fact, Rift was what brought in the concept of Virtual Reality. It offers you a complete immersive experience. It comes with a huge gaming library. However, there can be motion sickness. The VR like Hive needs a PC with high end performance and graphical requirements.

Sony Play Station VR
This is one of the latest entrant in the VR arena. The best part with it is you would not need a High-end PC to work with it. The VR headset has a comfortable design element and best suited for multiplayer functionality. There is a little awkwardness associated with button placement.

Samsung Gear
The headset is lightweight. It does not need any gaming hardware. It is a combination of Oculus and Samsung. It offers you easy navigation. Lower price tag should be one of the features that go well with the prospective buyers. However, it does not work with a device lower than Samsung S6.

Google Day Dream
It uses smartphone as processor just like what Samsung does. It is quite lightweight and compact. Like Samsung, it also has a lower price tag. The device comes with a limited games library.

Here are some of the VR sets that are worth taking a look.
