Here's an overview of current VR hardware.[1] This is by Phia, who is a VR native. She's been trying everything in VR since she was a teenager.

The most recent advance is Bigscreen.[2] Wired headset display, weighs 127 grams, good screens and optics, about US$1000. We're starting to see the end of the brick you wear on your head era.

Calling a person "VR native" is perhaps the worst thing ever said. I think "addicted to VR Chat" would be a more apt phrasing.

Calling a person "computer/internet/phone native" is perhaps the worst thing ever said. I think "addicted computers/the internet/phones" would be a more apt phrasing.

Sure thing grandpa!

I mean yeah, I totally agree with "addicted to computers/the internet/phones" as a problem facing a lot of people and should probably be the proper term instead of "internet native".

They were born in meatspace not in VR.

Somoene who spends the majority of their waking hours in Call of Duty or World of Warcraft to the detriment of their real lives aren't CoD or WoW natives; they have a videogame addiction.
