Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are critical tools for medical therapies that incorporate virtual reality as a basis for treatment. Therapists use HMDs as tools to aid in stimulating emotions, reactions, and memories that can trigger a patient’s anxiety. HMDs can also be applied for entertainment purposes, while some companies design their models for military purposes only. C&R has compiled a list of the most common HMD models and their details in order to compare the quality, affordability, weight, and other information to best suit the consumer.
