There are mary oliver and eroticismtwo kinds of VR headsets right now: smartphone-based ones like the Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream View, and PC-based ones like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The two offer low-end and high-end VR experiences, respectively.

There's really nothing in the middle yet, but at the Oculus Connect 3 developer conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to change that. He believes self-contained, standalone VR headsets that don't need a phone or a PC will occupy that space and revealed Facebook-owned Oculus is building one.
