The VR headset that I purchased, the Meta Quest 2 is currently selling for $199. In our state it costs over 50% less than the sales tax on the Apple Vision Pro. Despite being bulkier than the Apple device it hasn’t given me any black eyes, but depending on what it is being used for it can cause a bit of nausea. It is difficult to wear glasses and put it on, but the way that the optics work I do not need to wear my glasses with them.
For the price it does provide some very unique experiences. It has 1832 x 1920 Resolution Per Eye. with 60, 72, 90 Hz Refresh Rate. The Apple has 3,391 x 3,391 Resolution Per Eye with the same refresh rates. I do not sense much if any pixelation while wearing them depending on what they are being used for.
I use it mostly for flight simulators. The aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-plane 11 and 12 have extremely realistic interiors and when you are wearing the headset it looks and feels a lot like you are actually flying an airplane. You can look out the windows and easily keep track of the position of the airports to help with flying a proper pattern. Neither of these flight simulators are currently compatible with the Apple Vision Pro that I know of.
Apple is probably working on its own flight simulator..............
