What kind of VR is best for Slicer?  
I tried using google cardboard, the effect is interesting but usability is poor.  
I’m looking for another solution, good and not too expensive 🙂

Cardboard and other generic cellphone-based headsets are practically useless because they don’t have 3D controllers. Probably the Meta Quest 2 headset is the cheapest solution that you can get and it should be compatible with Slicer, but [you need to have a proper GPU to use Meta Quest Link](https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/oculus-link/connect-with-air-link/) (and I haven’t tried it myself).

Upvote for the Meta Quest 2. Although I do not use it too often, because the VR interface is still very basic. I have an RTX 3070 TI on my desktop.
