Head tracking movements need to be less than 50 milliseconds. Otherwise, our brains will think something is up, and we might start to get sick. Coupled with this response rate, the screen's refresh rate needs to be high, upwards of 60 to fps. Without high response rates, VR headsets would be nausea-inducing devices. To complete the sense of realism, most VR environments will utilize Binaural or even 3D audio to create a complete audio-visual landscape of the virtual environment.
This is simply done through the wearing of headphones, but the sound itself is then adjusted through software from feedback from the position sensors. Premium VR headsets have the ability to motion track, whereas the cheaper headsets just have a static or motion-activated viewpoint and require other more manual inputs, like from a gaming controller.
Head tracking is one of the key capabilities that make these headsets more premium and thus make using them feel more real. Oculus now actually offers extra sensors you can purchase for your VR headset that allow players an extra level of accuracy in the VR environment. And when it comes to tracking your physical position within a room, Oculus now offers an experience to match the HTC Vive, which it didn't do out the door. Different headset brands will utilize different tracking sensors and arrays, but in general, it involves some form of LED point tracking on the headset that feeds to an external camera.
That camera then processes the movement of the points and interpolates it into the display movement on the camera. So, VR headsets work through a combination of lenses, offset screens, and motion tracking technology all to create a digital VR environment more believable than ever.

Not all anti-shake technologies are the same. The in-camera anti-shake technology used by some manufacturers relies on a process that actually shifts the image sensor, and its performance benefit is generally agreed to be limited to about one-and-one-half to two stops. For Nikon photographers, an additional two stops of VR performance capability can easily be the difference between a blurry picture and a beautiful sharp one.
But the benefits of Nikon VR aren't limited to shutter speeds. Consider shooting on an overcast day at a medium ISO where greater depth-of-field might be desirable.
And having up to four stops to work with also offers the possibility of shooting at lower ISO settings, thus maximizing image quality. Click here for more on Nikon's VR technology.

Glossary Off On. Today you learn how lenses for virtual reality headsets work but you first have to understand how our eyes work.
Our eyes have built-in lenses that sit behind the pupils, the black part of our eyes. On the back of our eyes we have receptors that translate the incoming light into useful information and enable us to see. The job of the lenses in our eyes is to alter the incoming light in a way that it gets focused on our receptors on the back of our eyes. The lens bends depending on the distance between your eyes and the thing you are focusing on.
If you look at something really close your lenses have to bend a lot to give you a sharp image. If you look at something in the distance the lens does not need to bend a lot. This helps prevent eye strain because it gives your lenses a chance to relax. As your eyes age the lenses become less able to bend and alter the incoming light, which is why teenagers can focus on things as close as 7 cm in front of their eyes but older people cannot.
