*All Items are covered by CPS Warranty, to purchase visit us at cpscentral.com/
Oculus Rift
Price: $600.00
What does it do?: The Oculus Rift is when of the first major virtual reality  systems to release in association with Facebook. The price starts at 600 dollars but a major add on, The touch motion controller was once  considered an add on but as more games come out for the Oculus the more likely you needed the touch controller to play. With the touch controller you have the ability to pick up objects, move objects and so much more, not buying them would dramatically ruin the virtual reality experience. With a item like the Rift you have access to thousands of experimental projects created by the PC given you tons of options to play with while using the Rift. To connect the Oculus you get a long cable that you plug directly into your PC.  The Rift shows a 1,080-by-1,200 picture resolution to your eyes for a good quality experience. The play space on the Rift is 5×11.

Htc Vive
Price: $800.00
What does it do?: Taking a quick look at the Htc Vive one of it’s major selling points is their compatibility with Steam the online gaming website. The Vive offers over 500 games to work with in virtual reality. To connect the VR you have three wires that connect into your PC and these are put together tight to make it seem like it is one long cord. When it comes to audio any set of headphones are compatible with the Vive. The screen graphics are 2160×1200 on a LED screen. The mapping area for the Vive is 15×15 as well giving you a larger play space than the Rift and Playstation VR. This gives you more space to move around in your own reality while taking on all of those zombies.

Playstation VR
Price: $400.00
What does it do?: At the moment Playstation’s own virtual reality kit is the only console only virtual reality available. The screen graphics run at a 1920×1080 OLED display. With this it is able to handle all 1080p games. There are close to 50 games available right now to work with the Playstation VR. To move around you can use the Dualshock Playstation 4 controller along with the Playstation move controllers that first made their debut with the Playstation 3. To use the headset you have to plug in a cable from the headset to the Playstation 4. You are allowed to use many headphones with this headset but some just do not work with the bulkiness of the headset, so you might have to mix and match before you find the perfect headset or you can feel free to use the free little headphones that come with the gear.

Samsung Gear
Price: 129.99(With controller)
What does it do?: With the Samsung Gear VR  you have over 700 apps to choose from and can play directly from your Samsung phone. The gear comes with a wireless battery powered controller that allows you to move, touch, pickup, shoot and more. With this VR gear the newer your phone the better the experience. Playing with a brand new S8 will give you a much better experience than working with a older Galaxy S6. One perk of working with these headsets is that they are wireless, simply pair your phone with your headset snap it in and you’re off to the races. I would recommend using the gear if you have a newer version of Samsung items.

Google Daydream
Price: $79.99
What does it do:? Get your android phone ready and experience virtual reality. The Google Daydream works with any android operating phone and gives you access to close to 200 apps. The Daydream comes with a small remote control as well that helps you navigate across the world of VR. The remote is connected through Bluetooth and is motion controlled so to race just move it left or right and watch yourself move past the competitors. Google also has a secondary VR item that is much cheaper and is made out of cardboard.. which brings us too our final item

Google Cardboard
Price: $15.00
What does it do: This piece of equipment is really for people looking for a small glimpse into the world of virtual reality. All you need is a piece of cardboard and a couple of glass lenses. The cardboard is available to be created by you with labels from Google on what part goes where. For the cardboard the smaller the phone usually the better the viewing with a small display screen. The Google cardboard is one of the few virtual reality systems that are compatible with android and IOS operating systems. There is around 50 apps that can be used to work with on the cardboard.

To conclude all of these items are in the works and newer systems are to be developed as time goes on. One thing about virtual reality is you have to be careful when playing for long periods of time, if you stay under the glasses for ours at time people are more susceptible to dizziness and their eyes hurting from all the starting. So enjoy these items but do not go overboard.
