Virtual Reality Gear Kids Will Be Begging For This Holiday Season

You may have heard of the ominous-sounding Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. These are the ultra-powerful VR headsets that provide a fully immersive experience; some call it "the Holodeck" in reference to the alternate reality from Star Trek. Both require high-end, powerful PCs (which cost upwards of $500).

Key features

• Super expensive
• Require compatible games (for example, Everest VR is a Vive exclusive) and high-powered computers
• Full interactivity with your environment
• Games tend to be mature, including The Assembly and Deus Ex Mankind Divided.
• Best for families with teens; Oculus Rift's manufacturer age minimum is 13; Valve states the Vive is "not for children."
