VR all-in-one machines and VR glasses (also known as VR headsets) play different roles in virtual reality experiences, and they differ significantly in design and functionality. Here are the main differences:
Hardware integration and dependencies
VR all-in-one machine: is a stand-alone device that contains all the hardware needed to run a VR application, such as a processor, graphics card, memory, storage, and display. It doesn't need to be connected to a computer or game console to operate independently.
VR glasses (headset).: Typically requires connection to an external device, such as a computer, game console, or mobile phone, to provide processing power and VR content. These devices themselves do not contain all the hardware needed to run VR.
Performance
Because all-in-one VR PCs need to integrate all the hardware in a limited space, their performance is usually lower than that of VR glasses that need to be connected to a high-performance PC or game console.
Portability and ease of use
Since it does not require an external connection, the VR all-in-one machine is more portable and easy to set up and use.
VR glasses, while offering performance advantages, often require complex setups, including external sensors and cables.
VR all-in-one PCs are usually lower** and are suitable for users on a budget.
High-performance VR glasses** are higher, especially when combined with the cost of necessary peripherals such as high-performance PCs.
Scope of application
The range of applications of VR all-in-one machines may be limited by their hardware performance, which is more suitable for entertainment and basic virtual reality experiences.
VR glasses that connect to external devices can provide higher quality images and more complex virtual reality experiences for high-end gaming and professional applications.
User experience
The VR all-in-one provides a simpler and more intuitive user experience.
VR glasses (headsets) offer a higher quality and more immersive experience, but often require more configuration and adjustments.
In summary, the choice between an all-in-one VR device and VR glasses depends on the user's needs, budget, and desired quality of experience. If you're looking for a high-performance and high-quality VR experience and don't mind complicated setups and higher costs, then choosing VR glasses may be more suitable. If portability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are more important than that, then an all-in-one VR might be a better choice.
