VR is the term used to display splitscreens to each eye and comes in 3 flavors: PC-VR •Connects to a computer via a cable or wirelessly •Uses the PC power •Windows only (no Mac) •E.g. Vive Pro 2 Standalone VR •Doesn’t require a PC •E.g. Oculus Quest 2 Mobile Phone VR •Insert your phone into a headset shell

A VR headset is essentially two mini-monitors in front of your eyes The screens are at slightly different angles, which allow your brain to interpret the imagery as 3D Standalone VR which doesn't require a seperate computer, is becoming very popular for home gamers especially since the invention of theOculus Quest. However as all the processing is done on the headset, it results in poorer framerates, and lower quality imagery. Connecting the headset to a computer results in the best experience possible, as the PC does the hard computing work. These PC-VR applications can run via a tethered cable, or wireless connection. For the Pre-Trip Training, we will be using the HTC Vive Pro 2

SteamVR is the backbone of the virtual reality experience. SteamVR runs in the background and allows the computer to connect to the VR devices, run room set-up, and troubleshoot issues. SteamVR can be accessed from the toolbar.
