I’m 16 and I built my own VR headset with my best friends, Jonas Ceccon, Gabriel Combe and my math teacher. And it ended up costing us $100. Basically a VR headset consists of two things, tracking the player movements and rendering a stereoscopic view (with illusion of depth) of a 3D environment according to the player movements.

Relativty, an Open-source VR headset with a 2K 120FPS Display, SteamVR supports, and experimental room-scaling. You can build it for $200.

Hi all, After watching Sword Art Online (an anime about VR) with Gabriel a few years ago we set out to build our own VR headset. We open sourced it and made a Discord server with hundreds of other VR enthusiasts who helped improve the headset. We are now really excited to release Relativty based on what we learned with our community! It still feels a little surreal for us that we did exactly what we wanted since middle school: to build our own VR headset, play with it, experiment with it, and surround ourselves with other VR enthusiasts. We hope more people will join in and that you’ll appreciate our headset. Let us know what you think!

@maxcoutte This is so impressive! I need one!

I know Maxime since he is 15 years. I am very excited to hunt is product today. In a world where knowledge is freely available, this what it is possible to do. It is very impressive.
