Standalone virtual reality headsetshave been a dream until very recently. The current wave of VR has consisted of either mobile-dependent headsets in which you have to insert a fairly powerful smartphone into a wearable shell, or tethered headsets that need to be plugged into a separate device, like a gaming PC or console.
