general questions about VR 

Would someone please direct me to (a) solid primer(s) on current VR hardware and software, guides for buying equipment, what's possible to do in it (for end-users, not coders), and how to create things in it?

I'm asking for resources that the VR community already likes for being highly useful and shares by word of mouth, not stuff from the front page of a Google search.

@frameacloud ThrillSeeker's video series (m.youtube.com/c/ThrillSeekerVR) is fairly comprehensive, particularly the most recent three (at this writing).

It doesn't cover how to create things in it, but that answer is "learn Unity" for the vast majority of VR applications currently released (including social games like VRChat).

@frameacloud Also, if you do find your way into experimenting with VRChat or one of its competitors (note: most have desktop support, no headset required), lmk and we can give you the general tour.
