Technology hasn't advanced far enough to give us the tools that would enable us to teleport into another dimension in one piece, but there's something close: virtual reality (VR) headsets. These headpieces may make you look like Cyclops' first cousin, but they transport you into different worlds without requiring you to leave your couch. Through immersive VR experiences, you can travel to various exotic destinations (including outer space), attend "live" events in the comfort of your own home, participate in simulated military training remotely, and even meditate in zen locations.
VR headsets are not mainstream enough to be very financially accessible just yet, but you might be able to enjoy their wonders by buying refurbished units. This deal on a new-to-you Meta Quest 2 VR Headset lets you in on the experience without burning through your budget. For a limited time, you can get it for $419.99, 23% off the original price of $549.
The Meta Quest 2 has the bells and whistles to deliver an immersive, high-quality virtual reality experience, including a high-resolution display, intuitive touch controllers, and hand-tracking capabilities. With the six degrees of freedom feature, the headset tracks your body and head and translates them into VR accurately without the help of sensors. This makes you feel as though you're really somewhere else, where you can interact with virtual objects and realistic environments.
3D positional audio is built directly into the headset for immersive sonics, and the accompanying touch controllers are designed with ergonomics in mind for added comfort. 256GB lets you store as many apps, games, and movies as you want, and you also have the option to connect to a gaming computer to elevate your experience. The headset also comes with a head strap that you can adjust as needed, as well as an Elite Strap with a built-in rechargeable battery that extends your playtime.
Escape reality and explore new worlds without the full hefty price tag with a like-new Meta Quest 2 VR Headset on sale for $419.99 (reg. $549).
