Consumer VR has only been around for a few years, but that hasn’t stopped it from improving (and sometimes failing) at breakneck speeds. We’ve come a long way from the early days of 2016 VR being limited to expensive, tethered-only HMD’s and room-placed trackers as the only option.
现在，我们比以往任何时候都看到了一个世代相传的飞跃 - 从独立的HMD HMD的Meta Quest 2（我心中仍然是Oculus Quest）的惊人市场渗透中，我们可以在PlayStation的VR 2和Valve的Patent Patent Sprees中提出新技术。更不用说“荟萃分析”成为一种实际可能性，该想法是由行业中的知名人士积极探讨的。
There’s a whole lot to cover—which is exactly what I’m hoping to do in this piece: give the reader some summarized insight into what is happening in the world of VR, and then some recommendations on the best headsets currently available!
有很多大牌对元评估表示兴趣，有积极的项目有助于建立元元，提供技术服务或内容，这些服务或内容可能成为元评估的重要组成部分，或者在VR空间中从事相关业务。
An Overview of the VR Metaverse
如果不先谈论“元视”或网络的虚拟世界集合的想法（几乎有点像带有网页的互联网），就不可能对VR进行任何讨论。当以前是Facebook的梅塔（Meta）做出了重大改变以专注于建立元评估（或至少是他们对一个人的想法）的彻底改变时，谈论和工作朝向这样一个虚拟世界。
This supposed work towards Meta’s Metaverse is something that has exploded across the industry. But it is much more accurate to say that worktowards a Metaverse Idea爆炸了。无论是构建软件和技术，都可以使用元公司访问虚拟世界Epic宣布了10亿美元的资金回合，以支持Metaverse的长期视野。
甚至苹果也据推测的是，在源代码中发现了一个名为“ rentalos”的新操作系统的提示，也可以使用自己的VR/AR Google进行研究。不用说，元媒体最近像其他几乎没有其他事情一样刺激了发展，但这并不是一个好消息……
The Dark Side of the VR Metaverse
Whether this is your first-time hearing about the Metaverse or not, I wouldn’t hold it against you if you’re a little confused on what exactly a “Metaverse” would be. It is commonly described as an interlinked collection of worlds built with VR and AR technologies in which people will work and play. Or alternatively, images of the OASIS—a metaverse in the dystopian 2011 sci-fi novelReady Player Oneby Ernest Cline.
尽管这些概念是这一行业范围趋势的基本核心，但细节中缺乏严重的概念。到目前为止，该软件方面的大多数项目只是通过建立类似MMO的或类似VRCHAT的体验来重新塑造旧的地面，而对其如何适合任何现有的业务或娱乐形式，因此很少考虑它。This article by Bloombergsummarizes the idea in the following exceptionally succinct way:
“When tech executives like Zuckerberg preach the metaverse, they are promising visions that either already exist, are ill-defined or that nobody actually wants.”
我还要补充说，使用一本反乌托邦的科幻书籍是非常疯狂的，讲述了一个利用虚拟世界逃脱的环境崩溃的世界（比我们的世界），作为建立下一代社会技术的灵感。嗯，这不是我们要避免的事情吗？
But if we step back from the whole metaverse thing and back into the realm of just enjoying ourselves with a few VR games, maybe we can set this heavy stuff aside.
这对VR游戏意味着什么？
The good news is that the VR space—both because of its vital role in this Metaverse stuff, and because of the steady growth of VR gaming as a market segment—is experiencing rapid growth. So, expect big announcements and loads of funding being poured into VR Content in general.
但还会有一些变化恶化;NFT-like systems are set to be the de facto standard for ownership in the Metaverse, and I would expect that this will inevitably affect VR games to some extent in the future. NFTs are obviously not a manifestation of pure evil like they often are portrayed, as the technology could clean its act up and be a powerful tool for ownership of digital resources… but there is also the possibility of them just becoming glorified VR microtransactions, or continuing to act as wildly unstable investment properties.
但是，无论未来如何带来，当前的VR空间都充满了许多出色的游戏和令人难以置信的体验。我个人建议您尝试一下VR，并尝试一下：
VR硬件 - 2022年的最佳VR耳机
消费者VR游戏市场目前由3个平台或市场细分组成，因为缺乏更好的短语。这些是传统的VR耳机绑在PC上的（尽管不一定带有物理电缆），带有所有计算机上的移动耳机以及类似PC旋转但带有控制台的控制台VR。但是，应该注意的是，移动耳机也倾向于支持束缚的PC VR。
考虑到所有这些，这里是目前市场上一些顶级耳机的简短概述，并可以广泛购买。
1：Oculus Quest2 / Meta Quest 2|King of Mobile Headsets
The Quest 2 has only gotten better since its release in early 2020. The Quest 2 is an exceptional headset for the price, and has had massive adoption at its $299 price tag for the 128GB model. And honestly, it’s no wonder. The Quest 2 (originally software-locked to 72Hz) now offers a 120Hz with a respectable 1832×1920 per-eye resolution in a small and light package.
它甚至支持拴在电脑通过USB虚拟现实C cable and over Wi-Fi 5. The Quest 2 is jam-packed with features and, except for some gripes over its less-than-ideal straps and Meta’s involvement in it, it is arguably one of the best VR Headsets on the market for both budget-conscious enthusiasts and beginners just getting into the VR scene. Sure, it’s not the best of the best graphically, but for a mobile headset it doesn’t lag too far behind.
2：阀指数VR套件|The PC VR all-rounder
The index released in 2019, and may no longer be the absolute best in some regards (even the Quest 2 beats its 1440×1600 resolution, although the Index still has the advantage of a higher FOV of 130 compared to the Quest’s comparatively puny 89). Still, it has held onto its throne as one of the most comfortable and most all-around high-quality headsets.
Particularly big features that stand out are the phenomenal built-in audio, best-in-class comfort, and arguably the most ergonomic controllers that you can easily buy. It’s quite price, with a full kit including 2 room tracking sensors costing $999. Not to mention the inherent cost of PC VR needing a powerful VR-capable PC. But even so, the Index is still a strong option to consider now in 2022.
3：HTC Vive Pro 2|市场上的最佳分辨率
Both of the last two entries boast respectable, generally-high-end displays that one would expect in a modern headset. But if you’re looking for the best of the best, then the Vive Pro 2 is the headset for you.
A 5K / 4896 x 2448 resolution coupled with 120Hz refresh rate and a 120 FOV leave the competition’s displays in the dust. But that’s about all that the Vive Pro 2 brings to the table that’s new; it is essentially a Valve Index with an improved display, and is perfectly poised as an upgrade to it. But, as you might expect from that description, it’s got a steep $1,399 price tag, which is noticeably higher than the Index.
VR耳机期待
这些是您现在可以购买的耳机，但是还有一对特别令人兴奋的耳机要注意，将来会出现：
1：Meta的Project Cambria|A higher-end Quest Alternative
Meta’s announcement at last year’s Connect Conference gave a glimpse of their new upcoming headset, set to be a more premium mobile headset that would still support the Quest’s library of games.
Not much is known, but Meta has confirmed features such as eye tracking, face tracking, color passthrough, redesigned controllers, and new lenses. If you’re in the market for a mobile headset and don’t mind dropping a bit more cash than the cost of a Quest 2, then Cambria might be a great alternative to wait for.
2：PS VR2|下一代控制台VR
One of the most exciting VR announcements happened this year during CES 2022, when PlayStation has announced a new VR headset to go with the PS5. We have had a few specs revealed but so far, but we’re still sorely lacking in the details about how the headset is actually going to look.
我们所知道的是，耳机将以120 fps，单电缆连接，耳机本身的触觉反馈以及眼睛跟踪，每只眼睛具有2000×2040 OLED显示屏。不用说，如果您正在寻找控制台VR体验，那么等待PSVR2就是必然的。
Conclusion
And that’s it! There are a few other arguably noteworthy headsets not mentioned here, such as the upcomingPimax Reality 12K OLED（一款可怕的爱好者级的系带耳机，有望200Hz，每眼6K分辨率为200），HTC Vive流(which is available now, but is more content-consumption-focused or enterprise-focused, rather than gaming-focused), and theHP Reverb G2(which is also available now, and has a very impressive display, but which has several drawbacks in quality of tracking and overall support).
但是上面的列表涵盖了我们认为绝大多数VR用户的最新和近乎未来的选项。不过，如果您认为我们错过了一些东西，或者只是让我们知道您对VR的未来及其在神秘的元评估中的作用，请发表评论！
