FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with virtual reality in Australia.

For beginners, we recommend the Meta Quest 3. It's a standalone headset — no PC or console required — with an easy setup process and an extensive library of games and experiences. It's widely available at major Australian retailers including JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman.
Not necessarily. Standalone headsets like the Meta Quest 3 run independently without a PC. However, if you want the highest-fidelity VR experience with titles like Half-Life: Alyx, you'll need a VR-ready PC. We provide detailed PC requirement guides in our headset reviews.
Yes! While major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane have the highest concentration of VR venues, regional centres including Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, and the Gold Coast also have excellent VR arcades. Our venue finder lists locations across the country.
Most VR headset manufacturers recommend their devices for users aged 13 and above. For younger children, shorter sessions and parental supervision are advised. Many Australian VR venues have specific age and height requirements for safety reasons. Always check with the venue before booking for children.
Motion sickness in VR is common for newcomers. Tips include: starting with short sessions (15–20 minutes), choosing experiences with minimal artificial locomotion, ensuring your headset is properly fitted, and taking regular breaks. Most people find their "VR legs" after a few sessions.
