I like the Google Daydream view for the VR headset. It is affordable with a lower starting price at 59.99. It is compatible with various Android smartphones and thus is more mainstream and consumer friendly as many consumers own an Android smartphone. I also like the fact that it looks completely different from most other VR headsets, it is built with soft breathable fabric for comfort and thus has the consumer’s comfort and experience in mind. In fact, the facepad is also hand washable, allowing users to keep the VR headset fresh and clean to share with friends.

As for AR headsets, Google Glass was the pioneer in that market. It made waves in the AR headset industry when it came out 2013 with the explorer version being released to certified “Glass Explorers”. It was a very novel product, with input being through voice commands and a touchpad mounted on the side of the device. Even the sound input was one of the first of its kind, using bone conduction to do so. However, it was not a viable mass market product and has thus pivoted for industrial use in the form of the Google Glass Enterprise Edition.
