8 Best VR Headset to Buy For the First time (Virtual reality)

Check if your phone is VR compatible?

We’ve pointed out some tips to determine if a phone is VR-ready. We’re not diving into that again, but instead here is the list of the popular devices that support virtual reality, and if your device is listed on this list make no further delay—grab a VR headset from online stores.

Check VR compatibility Using YouTube App

You can easily know if your phone will support VR using the Youtube app. Google added cardboard mode in the youtube app that users can switch to VR mode when watching videos.

Do this, play any video on youtube > Click the three-dot icon when watching a video, and then tap Watch in VR to go into VR mode.

The screen now divides into two part which is required to experience depth. Your phone’s screen should also rotate as you rotate the phone. If your video is also moving with the movements of the phone, then you can be sure to buy a virtual reality headset, however, the gyroscope sensor will impact the virtual reality experience on your mobile. If your video screen movement is slow then you will not have a good experience.
