Oculus has also outfitted its Go headset with a brand-new set of lenses that improve upon the lenses found in both Oculus Rift and the Samsung Gear VR. These refined lenses give you a generous sweet spot while ensuring that everything is crisp and clear. Even when your eyes stray to the edges, the fast-switch LCD screen keeps ghosting to a minimum, and minimises the screen door effect, where individual pixels become clearly visible. The Oculus Rift has slightly lower-resolution OLED screens, pairing two displays for a total resolution of 2,160 x 1,200. These still offer a clear picture, and they can refresh the image up to 90 times per second. While that 90Hz refresh rate is helpful for incredibly smooth VR, the ability to offer that smoothness is linked to the power of whatever PC is tethered to it.

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. The former are inexpensive and don't use wires, but only work with a handful of relatively expensive smartphones. The latter are pricey and use awkward cables, and require even more expensive hardware.
