Best Virtual Reality Headsets Priced Below Rs 3000 in India

Experts have said that after the successful touchscreen era, it is a time for head mounted devices that would create immersive virtual world users. And thus, Virtual Reality headset would be a big part of future. With a vast number of smartphones sales in India, the country could be looking at a phenomenal explode of VR headset sales in near future.

But currently, if you see the situation, the big players in Virtual Reality are Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Sony PlayStation VR, LG 360 VR and Samsung Gear VR, which was co-developed with Oculus. While many of these models are yet to go on sale in International markets, and there are no words for some of those VR headsets that when they would be coming up in India. That is just one thing that virtual reality devices makers would have to tackle. The second part is the pricing, offering a VR headset at a price of the mid-range handset is not a good idea. Certainly not for the Indian audience, who will definitely prefer to buy a smartphone first then even think to get a headset.
