Hello,
Is there any update on VR Googles (such as HTC Vive) support?
Is there a roadmap for officially supporting this feature?
Surely that would get rather sweaty… the underwater parts of Watopia would look super realistic… until the headset breaks 
May work for a recovery ride, but imagine >FTP intervals!
Context:
Zwift has had VR, but disabled, for years:
“I actually added VR mode to the software back in 2013 so it’s been in there all along, but disabled. In fact I gave Eric Min a demo of it the day we first met at my house. The problem is that even 3 years later VR headsets are not common devices, and the gaming computers needed to power them are equally scarce – at least among cycling enthusiasts. Lower price point and more exercise friendly VR headsets are on the horizon.”

We’ve been sweating hours with Beat Saber for several months, the fact that can create issues for headsets is a myth. There are waterproof covers and you can cut your sweat a lot with a standing fan.

So now that the Quest 2 — a stand alone headset for 300 bucks — is everywhere, let’s get them to re-activate that VR mode!
Please add VR support. OpenXR would be fine. Call it experimental even if needed. It would add so much immersion to the easy rides and prevent boredom.
I would use it for every zone 1 and 2 ride for sure, maybe some zone 3. Zone 4 and above, I would still use flat of course.

I have to look away from the screen on the NYC escalators - the sudden change in direction, and the arrows of the escalator moving a a different speed than my avatar give me a touch of vertigo / nausea.
I could not imagine VR goggles.
It would be interesting to have - and we know there was a proof of concept.
Put that out there as an experimental thing for people who want to have it to try. It won’t bring about the end of the world, despite the protests against the feature.
If people don’t want it, they don’t have to use it.
