VRFocus - We’ve been told time and time again that virtual reality (VR) is for absolutely everyone. We’re assured that anyone can slip on a headset such as the Oculus Rift or Project Morpheus and enjoy a wide variety of experiences. But many times we hear this comment from developers or enthusiasts it refers to content and demographics. By ‘everyone’ they mean ‘not just gamers’, as VR is set to be utilised for films, virtual tourism and is already at work in medical and military sectors, with a range of other possibilities yet to be explored. What the answer usually dismisses is compatibility.
A classic genre takes on new life in VR, so here's a rundown of the best VR platformer games available in 2026.
Can’t be a good list without astro bot and moss and moss book 2 they are the cream of the crop.

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.

Augmented Reality is much more accessible than Virtual Reality, but they are so very different. You could do augmented reality inside of virtual reality, but not vice versa.
I do think Augmented Reality will be more popular in the long term though. Especially if ideas like the Illumiroom make it so you don't have to wear anything.
The biggest hurdle for Virtual Reality is the idea of wearing helmet and also the fact that it is a little unsettling. I don't think we will ever reach a point where mainstream users will want to strap something to their head.
Just a suggestion, why don't they build adjustable ( soft and durable rubberized ) flaps on the outermost edge surrounding the goggles that can be increased to up to a couple of centimeters/inches to fit people who wear varying sizes of prescription glasses.
TV and controllers best by my opinion. Not into this vr or ar. Couldn't imagine wearing this stuff for a few hours. No thanks. Some people will like though so good for them.
Augmented Reality may give people God like powers and you can ask Pierce Bronson or William Shatner that having god like powers may not be a good idea.
