With the PSVR, you can play using your Dualshock PS4 controller, or you can splash out and pick up the VR Aim Controller, which can be used with games like Farpoint, although right now not much else. The controller can be bought for 145.99.

For the Oculus Rift, you can buy Oculus Touch Controllers. Rather than using a handset, these operate in a more similar to real life hand movements,giving the feeling that the virtual hands are actually your own. Oculus Rift Touch Controllers are 130.

You can get a budget Google Cardboard virtual reality headset - or a very similar device on Amazon - for just 15. Google and Samsung's mobile headsets aremore advanced, rounded and comfortable and also cost less than 100.

For a more powerful virtual reality set up, the PlayStation VR and Oculus Rift both cost several hundred pounds, while you will probably want to look into picking up a few extras such as handsets.

The HTC Vive is the most expensive on this list, coming in at more than 750 - and you will need a powerful PC set up to play the headset as well.
