The PC-powered HTC Vive has the most expansive fitness gaming catalogue when compared to other major competitors. Their partnership with Valve and Steam gives major and independent publishers and developers a popular platform for VR gaming that reaches millions of VR users. The easy clean up, room-scale tracking, 110-degree field of view and the implementation of the Vive Tracker Pucks and their ability to turn objects into VR fitness tools is enough to call the HTC Vive the most versatile VR headset. Congratulations on winning the Best VR Headset For Fitness!

The handy wireless Vive Tracking Pucks can be secured onto bats, fake swords, tables, and even onto pet vests.
