Christmas is just around the corner, even though it may seem different, given that it’s one whole month away. This is the perfect time to start thinking about what the perfect gift for our loved ones is. You must know that feeling when you put off the gift shopping for the day before Christmas and then you rush to buy the first thing you stumble upon. As a result, we have to watch the fake excitement of our friends and family after they unwrap our gifts. That’s why, this year, you should start looking for a present as early as today.
There’s no more room for making super-bad choices and buying ugly sweaters for your loved ones. What we’re offering is a way for you to really blow everyone’s minds with these super cool gifts! We’re talking about making people happy by getting them some AR/VR gadgets. We’re living in a world ruled by crazy, innovative tech. Therefore, we should take advantage of what it has to offer. Augmented and virtual reality gadgets will undoubtedly make your loved ones genuinely smile (no more faking it, as they usually would).
We’ve made a list of 10 AR/VR gift ideas, so go ahead and take a look!
1. VR Headset
This one is pretty obvious, right? There’s literally no one in the world who wouldn’t like to have a VR headset. Let your loved one sink into the world of virtual reality and get lost in it! This is without a doubt one of the best gifts you can give someone.
2. AR Headset
Since we’ve chosen a VR headset as our top pick, the runner-up is an AR headset. Think about it, if your friend or family member is more of an augmented reality kind of guy (or gal), you can choose an AR headset. However, we must note that there are some pretty cool AR headsets out there, but they are extremely expensive. Some cost even more than $3000! If you don’t think that’s too much for a Christmas gift, then we’ll have to say that you may be one of the world’s greatest friends!
3. VR/AR Games
Going back to stuff regular people can afford… Since AR/VR tech has been around for a while, chances are your buddies and family members already own AR/VR hardware. In that case, we’d recommend buying a cool software for them. The choices of AR/VR games are endless, and the prices of some even go as low as $4.99.
4. VR Experience
If you want to buy them something else instead of hardware and software, take them to a VR arcade! Unfortunately, there are not that many VR theme-parks as we’d like, but if you are lucky enough to live close to one, you should definitely go there!
5. VR PC
If your friend doesn’t have a VR-ready PC yet, well, you can go and buy it for them. However, we’re back to the not-so-cheap options. Still, this would definitely be a nice gift.
6. 360 / VR Cameras
For those who just love to shoot videos, a 360/VR camera will be the perfect gift for them! There’s plenty of these on the market, so it might be difficult to pinpoint the one that will suit both your budget and your taste.
7. Tracking Systems
If the person you want to surprise on Christmas has a headset that doesn’t have a positional tracking feature, you should consider buying them one.
8. Brain PC Interfaces
Here’s another really cool idea: You can make your friend or family member experiment with the brainwave-reading inside of VR. This is another piece of innovation that is going to absolutely revolutionize the way we interact with tech. So you can be among the first ones to try it out!
9. Eye-Tracking Devices
Eye-tracking will definitely become a feature that VR headsets will contain in the future. These tracking devices allow the user to have a more realistic VR visual experience and have an avatar that looks more natural too. Until then, consider surprising your loved one by purchasing them one they can implement into a device they already own.
10. Customization
We’ve started this list with a headset, and we’ll finish it off with one. VR headsets are pretty flat devices, and there’s not much going on there design-wise. That’s why it might be a good idea to try and give them a personal touch. If that sounds like something you’d like to buy for your loved one, check out the skins some websites offer for VR headsets.
Alright, guys! You’re ready now. Go ahead and take this list with you. Remember, no more room for bad gifts, we’ve officially entered the AR/VR era. Let’s use that!
