Need a virtual social circle to stave off lockdown boredom? One of these new-gen headsets should ensure you’ll never be alone again…

HTC Vive Cosmos Elite
What’s the story?
Effectively succeeding the HTC Vive, the Cosmos Elite uses a lot of the same hardware but gains an upgraded headset for better visuals, and swaps the inside-out tracking of the Vive Cosmos (see panel) for the pinpoint precision of base stations. Eventually you’ll be able to pick bits of the package, like an external tracking faceplate, but right now it’s a full house: headset, faceplate, base units and controllers.
Is it any good?
