For virtual reality, Oculus or Vive external sensors definitely offer better tracking.

  I have this setup. For $200 that is really good value!
  Highly recommend it

  Tracking is smooth and resolution better than vive and oculus. Great because you don't need extra sensors to play games.

      Not really. Only problem is that my laptop isn't a gaming machine so only has onboard Intel graphics.
      Having said that, it can still run VR games in a lower resolution.

      Note that you might be able to get the Ghostbusters game for free via redemption with this headset.

  Dell also has the visor on sale currently for $599 for those who prefer local stock of a decent WMR headset

  though for half the price, the Acer is likely better…. $599 is imported Samsung Odyssey money
