About Living in VR
Our Story
Living in VR began as a passion project in 2023, born from countless hours spent exploring virtual worlds and testing emerging technologies. What started as a personal fascination with the transformative potential of VR quickly evolved into a mission: to create the web’s most comprehensive, honest, and accessible resource for virtual reality enthusiasts at all levels.
As early adopters ourselves, we experienced firsthand the confusion and overwhelming choices facing consumers in this rapidly evolving space. Information was scattered, technical jargon created barriers, and finding trustworthy reviews often felt impossible. We established Living in VR to solve these problems—creating the resource we wished existed when we began our own VR journey.
Who We Are
Our team comprises dedicated VR specialists, technology journalists, game developers, and industry consultants who bring diverse perspectives to our coverage. United by our passion for immersive technology, we’ve collectively tested hundreds of devices, explored thousands of applications, and spent countless hours in virtual environments.
Our backgrounds span gaming, enterprise solutions, educational technology, and accessibility design—allowing us to evaluate VR innovations through multiple lenses and for diverse use cases. Beyond our technical expertise, we’re storytellers committed to making complex technologies understandable and accessible to everyone.
Our Approach
At Living in VR, we believe in immersive, hands-on testing. Every device we review undergoes a rigorous evaluation protocol designed to assess:
- Technical Performance: Resolution, tracking accuracy, refresh rates, field of view
- Comfort & Ergonomics: Weight distribution, extended-use comfort, adjustment options
- User Experience: Interface design, ease of setup, software ecosystem
- Value Proposition: Price-to-performance ratio, longevity potential, upgrade paths
- Accessibility: Barriers to entry, adaptation options, inclusivity considerations
We purchase most devices independently to maintain editorial independence, clearly disclosing when products are provided by manufacturers. Our testing environments include dedicated VR spaces that simulate various real-world usage scenarios—from compact apartments to spacious dedicated rooms.
Our Commitment
We pledge to:
- Remain Fiercely Independent: Our opinions cannot be purchased, and we maintain strict separation between editorial content and any sponsored material.
- Speak Human, Not Jargon: Complex technologies deserve clear explanations that don’t require an engineering degree to understand.
- Represent All Users: From beginners to developers, budget-conscious consumers to enterprise clients—our coverage serves the entire spectrum of VR users.
- Acknowledge Limitations: We recognize that VR isn’t perfect for every scenario and honestly address the technology’s current constraints alongside its potential.
- Foster Community: Living in VR is more than a publication—it’s a gathering place for sharing experiences, solving problems, and collectively advancing our understanding.
