I have a VR headset (Oculus Quest) and I love it. It cost me $600 Canadian and can be used standing and walking around or sitting. The Oculus Go is half the price but can only be used seated which isn't necessarily a bad thing according to the population we work with. I work in a community center with autonomous seniors. Anyways, there is an app where you can walk around the Anne Frank house, a free movie called "travelling while black", Wander is great as well. There are many that can be used.
