 partly
As first and major inconvenience, the hardware needs a computer powerful enough to make this headset work
(IE7; GraphicCard mini 1080; Windows10; mini 8GB RAM).
The relatively light weight is less comfortable than the PS4 VR headset. Despite the different adjustment straps,
wearing the helmet with glasses is uncomfortable. However, the headphones allow the player to have a sound
compatible with external hearing aids.
The wide interface is noteworthy, as well as the quality and weight of the controllers. Learning about the different
buttons of the controllers will require parameter setting according to the students or the application in order to
simplify the triggers as much as possible.
In spite of its qualities, the technological/compatibility challenges are too important and therefore we would not
recommend this hardware for use in class with SEN students.
