VR headset, short for virtual reality headset, is a head-mounted device that enables wearers to get virtual reality experience through a headset-like device.

A VR headset should consist of a stereoscopic head-mounted display (providing 2 different images for each eyes separately, the effect of which could be adjusted to get different virtual reality experience), stereo sound, and head motion tracking sensors (which could contain gyroscope, accelerometers, structured light systems, etc.). You could even get sys tracking sensors and gaming controllers in some VR headsets.

With some virtual reality apps, you could turn any movie into 3D movies for watching on VR headsets. You could get diverse VR apps on different app stores.
