I want to hear from you all. Have you ever played in virtual reality? What was your favorite virtual reality experience?
Great post! I’m look on amazon for something like this for my brother he wants to get into virtual reality games.
I have never used anything like these gadgets. very informative for newbies. thanks for sharing!
Nice one. I never they come in different varieties. To be frank, I’m really grateful for this and I look to any shop selling this.
Thanks.
This is so funny to see that you’re posting about VR systems! I just tried the Oculus Quest yesterday and am pretty convinced that we will be getting one this holiday season. I love that it’s wireless!
These are amazing gift ideas! This is our future and I am so excited about it! Virtual Reality definitely takes things to the next level!
My boyfriend’s son LOVES virtual reality gadgets, although I’ve never used one myself. Maybe he needs an upgrade for Christmas! 🙂
I’ve only tried Vr once since they came out. They’re so dang cool, never knew there were so many options.
These seem like they would be a ton of fun! I’d want one of those set ups that let you walk/run in place properly to go with it.
Great post, I’ve been thinking about gifting to my boyfriend because he’s such a gamer.
I bet my boys would love virtual reality headsets! They look like they are a blast!
I’ve never tried something like this, but I’ve seen them on TV. A gamer would really love something like this. I think I will give this to my sister for her birthday. She’s the only one who still plays PS at our age. HAHA.
I used to play a lot of video games when I was younger. But I never tried VR. This looks so fun and interesting. Maybe once the kids are older and I’m not as tired, I will look into something like that.
This is so helpful. My son just asked me for something like this for his birthday.
I love the idea of the Playstation charging and display stand. More electronics and devices should consider offering storage options.
Aaaww a fabulous gift! Never thought of this! Great post!
Oh wow! These are definitely gifts that I should look into this Christmas!
Cool post. I’ve never experience VR but it looks like it would be super fun.
These are super cool gifts for gamers and those who love VR. It would make Fornite more excited (I don’t know if Fortnite uses VR technology, I heard it is a game that uses a lot of interactions, I am poor at my game knowledge, ahaha)
This sounds like a great gift idea. I am not familiar with VR, and it is interesting to learn how these work.
i havent seen a VR gift guide yet, this is really helpful! sending to my husband, lol
thanks for your insight. i haven’t yet tried out one of these devises. kinda look similar to the wii console but with a headset… lo
I fangirled upon reading this post! I’m a huge gamer and I have an Oculus Quest for my console! For me, it’s (still) the best VR headset out in the market!
im looking for a perfect gift for my husband this christmas and i think i found it here. thanks for your complete guide on vrs.
I don’t know much about VR so this post was super helpful!
These are some great ideas. These would be perfect for my brothers they love gadgets like this. Thanks for sharing!
Omg, this is a great gift for my nephews anyway, he did a great job in school. Thanks for the tips!
Sooooo (embarassed to say–wife of a gamer) we have ALL of these and my husband and kids love them.
I love virtual reality. I work at a tech store and have gotten to try many of these out. My favorite is either Oculus or PS VR.
My first time trying this out I freaked out but I was really amazed how these things evolve in time!
This is the world that is changing fastly. Last decade has changed the gift industry tremendously that nobody can think. Excellent List of gifts on VR based.
Keep posting such blog
The Oculus Quest is the best VR headset! I think wireless is the future of virtual reality.

Thanks for your gift suggestion! VR is really amazing technology.
