I got into VR during the pandemic which allowed me to socialize at any time (often in the wee hours) in VRChat. It absolutely helped my mental state at the time. I also discovered countless people using VR for other mental and physical health reasons. Ended up with a girlfriend who moved to my state (going on four years now). There are also worlds specifically for chilling out, sightseeing, nature etc.
I would highly highly recommend it to anyone for VRChat alone (which is also free).
Eventually I branched out into other games and now I can’t go back to flat first person games. The immersion of VR can’t be described.
So yeah, 100% get a headset. Meta just announced new prices so you can get started for as little as $299 (for the Quest 3S). Obviously there are many other options out there (I personally like Pico) but I don’t know the specifics of your situation. Feel free to ask any questions.
I had a Go a long time ago and I loved it for watching movies but the small sweet spot was an issue. I feel a strong pull towards pancake lenses but I think the cost is still out of reach… a new q3 is approaching 1k after straps and games.
Pico 4 is fantastic right out of the box with pancakes. The games library isn’t as vast but most of the big hits are available. And of course you can connect to a PC and play Steam games. Pico also has full body tracking coming out this holiday season.
