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.

I would like to try the Bigscreen but I am far too much of a curmudgeon to send them a scan of my face.

Bigscreen is very customized. They have different models for different interpupil distance. The face insert is custom made. Custom corrective lenses can be made and installed. Not even close to one-size-fits-all. This is all good but hard to market.
