Virtual reality headset

A virtual reality headset is a head-mounted device that uses 3D near-eye displays and positional tracking to provide a virtual reality environment for the user. VR headsets are widely used with VR video games, but they are also used in other applications, including simulators and trainers. VR headsets typically include a stereoscopic display, stereo sound, and sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes for tracking the pose of the user's head to match the orientation of the virtual camera with the user's eye positions in the real world.

Mixed reality (MR) headsets are VR headsets that enable the user to see and interact with the outside world.
Examples of MR headsets include the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3.
