Shopping Tips

1. Degree of Freedom

Degree of Freedom (DoF) is mainly divided into 3DoF and 6DoF. Players can, according to the type of game, choose VR glasses for a fixed-point or motion experience.

• 3DoF: The focus is on a fixed-point experience. The glasses can sense head movement in a space-limited environment but positioning accuracy is lower and mainly for viewing 360-degree photos, videos or light action VR games.
• 6DoF: The focus is on a motion experience. The VR view changes with the player's position offering precise positioning and less latency. This increases user interaction with the virtual world, but requires a larger physical space for position detection.

2. Field of View

The larger the FOV (Field of View) of VR glasses, the wider the viewing area. An average person's FOV is about 60 degrees, but VR glasses generally offer a field of view of 90 to 110 degrees. There are some VR glasses in the market that can achieve a super wide field of view but be aware that the image will be distorted slightly.

3. Applicable Platforms

Certain games and programs are only available on specific platforms or devices. Check that the VR glasses support the programs you want before you buy them.

4. Comfort

Consider buying VR goggles that suit the shape of your head and face or is lighter for less fatigue during long play durations.
