The most immersive virtual reality experiences use a stand alone VR headset or a combination of PC , VR headset, and software. The standalone VR headsets do need a PC in order to update the headset software. Handheld controllers can also be added for additional control over the virtual environment. These VR devices can track a user's movement, called "positional tracking", within a space - a feature not available when using VR apps and a smartphone. The healthcare industry is developing applications and uses for these types of devices. |
