The number of virtual reality devices available is increasing, but they are not all created equally. Out of curiosity, I decided to compare the specifications on five of the virtual reality devices that are talked about the most. Below, I’ll provide a table with specifications for the following:
- Oculus Rift
- HTC Vive
- Microsoft HoloLens
- Magic Leap
- Meta 2
In the future, I’ll look to update this with a few additional devices such as:
- Fove O
- Razer OSVR HDK 2
- Sony Playstation VR
What I am not covering in this post are the ‘fake’ virtual reality devices such as the Samsung Gear VR. The devices that operate as cases for a phone are a different category that deserve their own coverage.
Here is the general specification details as of today:
