Which VR headsets are compatible with Steam? I want to know if there are any cheaper options than the Vive that work with enough games to make the purchase worthwhile.

Apple is finally bringing virtual reality support to its Mac laptops and desktops, bringing the company up to speed with what many see as the next phase of computing.At Monday's Apple WWDC event in San Jose, the company announced that with this fall's MacOS High Sierra update, the Mac will support external graphics hardware — meaning you can plug in a box and greatly increase your machine's graphical capabilities. In turn, that external hardware will give the Mac the boost it needs to support virtual reality headsets, which require superior performance to create an immersive experience. Previously, most Macs didn't support those specs, meaning that headsets like Facebook's Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive focused entirely on developing for Windows PCs.Furthermore, the just-announced iMac Pro, an all-in-one computer starting at $4,999, will have enough horsepower for virtual reality built in, says Apple.When High Sierra launches, it will support virtual reality with the HTC Vive headset and VR content created with the popular Unity and Unreal game engines. Notably, support for Facebook's Oculus is not included, at least so far.Apple says it will make test kits available to MacOS developers soon, sporting an AMD Radeon RX 580 card and a USB-C hub in a box with a Thunderbolt 3 connector. That's enough for those developers to get started building virtual reality games and apps for the Mac. By Roger Fingas

The device will sport a WQHD (2,560-by-1,440) display and built-in spatial audio, with an option for external headphones via a 3.5mm jack, executives said. Wearers will only be able to glance around spaces instead of walking around a room, the latter being a major feature of high-end PC headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
To ensure app support, the Go will be compatible with all titles for Samsung's Gear VR. The latter product is based on Oculus technology but sells for an even cheaper price since a Samsung smartphone is required for processing and display.
Oculus has shared few other details except to say that the first development kits will ship in November ahead of an 'early 2018' launch. Virtual Reality Headset For Macbook Pro
In the meantime the company is permanently dropping the price of a Rift bundle with Touch controllers from $499 to $399. That also includes six free apps, such as Robo Recall and two artistic titles, Medium and Quill. A new version of the Rift's dash interface — Rift Core 2.0 — combines every app and menu into a central hub, and introduces Home, a personal VR environment.

A long-term project is 'Santa Cruz,' something Oculus is promising will bring 'the magic of a PC VR experience to an untethered form factor.' The technology was teased last year, and this year the company showed off new controllers enabling six degrees of freedom.
Apple has largely steered away from VR in favor of augmented reality. macOS High Sierra does, however, lay the groundwork for VR on Macs.
