Oculus Rift

$US499 | oculus.com

The paterfamilias of the current crop of VR headsets, the Oculus Rift is regarded by many as the one to beat. That price tag (and yes, they do ship to Australia) gets you the headset, two sensors and two Oculus Touch controllers. Keep in mind that you need a powerful PC to plug it into, meaning this isn’t a cheap option but all that power does make for a more immersive experience. While the controllers look bizarre, they’re surprisingly intuitive and the headset itself has been tweaked over the years to improve comfort and fit.
