Among the highest-selling VR headsets are the Oculus Quest 2, PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive. These headsets offer advanced features such as 6DOF (six degrees of freedom), which allows for more realistic movement and interaction within the virtual environment.



While these high-end VR headsets are popular among consumers, prosumers, and enterprises, there is still a market for more affordable and accessible VR devices. VR cardboard headsets, such as the dis continued Google Cardboard as well as scores of unbranded cardboard VR headsets available on #amazon as well as #flipkart offer a low-cost and easy-to-use alternative for those looking to experience basic VR content.
