For those who have tried it, Virtual reality can be addictive. And for those who can afford it, there's nothing like getting the best VR headset for ultimate user experience. Introducing: Bridge.

For virtual reality enthusiasts out there looking for the latest VR headset right now, there's the Occipital Bridge headset. What's great about this is that it features 'mixed reality'. It retails at $399 and is made for the iPhone 6, 6s and 7. This can also work for iPads as well. The Bridge is not one's usual VR. Unlike other devices of its kind, it has a depth sensing camera similar to how Google's Tango works, per iTechPost.

Its chic and modern design will catch one's attention right away. It has a white color and there's a black sensor that's connected to the top of its main body through a cable. In front, you a camera can be seen on the top right. Then there are two straps on the side. It's also supposedly light weight, though no specific measurements were made.

Just like other VR headsets, the Bridge also comes with a remote control. It has a gyroscope with the buttons that can be used to control its features. However, the video demo did not show the specific uses of each button. Right now the remote is still a prototype and they have yet to reveal the final design.

Reality VS Virtual Reality

The Bridge might have one confused with reality and virtual reality. Once securely put, user should allow the device to scan the room so it can map out a 3D space. Afterwhich, user can now put on virtual robots and even fake furnishings that can only be seen through the headset. Better than having a third eye, one might think. It also has a virtual robot called Bridget. It is programmed to do a lot of things. It can navigate through obstacles, interact with real objects, and even play fetch. Creators behind this say that they will be adding more features soon. That way users can enjoy a whole new level of sophistication and engagement with its surroundings.
