+You will need to download the plugins that add this feature to Rhino.
+There are a three options on the page below, none are in the Rhino core.
+Since special hardware was required to use, the decision was made not to include in the Rhino core, but allow users to add-on if they need the feature.
+Support from expert users and McNeel staff worldwide is available on the [[https://discourse.mcneel.com/c/rhino/147|Rhino Support Forum]].
+===== Option 1: Rhino Plugins =====
+==== RhinoVR ====
+RhinoVR is a Rhino 7 plug-in which uses the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift head-mounted displays to render Rhino viewports in virtual reality. This plug-in was created as a sample to show developers how a VR plug-in can be developed for Rhino 7.
+It requires an OpenVR compatible VR headset like Quest 2, Samsung Odyssey+, Rift S.
+Headset support for Steam + SteamVR is required and then it will work with RhinoVR.
