Hello,

I am using Paraview 5.6.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 and have compiled it with the OpenVR plugin. Steam and SteamVR are also installed. My final step is therefore acquiring a VR headset that will be compatible with all of this. Is there a list of confirmed working headsets or can anyone recommend some models?

Thank you.
