Top Best VR is dedicated to virtual reality enthusiasts. We explore the cutting edge of augmented reality, virtual reality, and human and computer interaction. Our aim is to chart the course between the immersive technology of today with that of the distant future that we hope will hold perfect simulations of reality.
Top Best VR began as a passion project put together by a group of friends. We were intrigued and inspired by the creative possibilities of this exciting new medium. Our mission and goal is to shine the light on a medium that we believe will rediscover human potential.
Here at Top Best VR, we cover everything related to virtual and augmented reality, including reviews, news, the startup life, and other cool stuff.
So what exactly is virtual reality? In short, it’s about using computer technology to create a realistic simulated environment. It differs from a traditional user interface because it places the user directly inside of an experience.
To further explain, instead of a person viewing a screen that’s in front of them, they are actually immersed in the scene and can interact with three dimensional (3D) environments and worlds.
Virtual reality aims to stimulate as many of the human senses as possible, including touch, hearing, vision, and even smell. The computer actually transforms into a sort of gatekeeper to a beautiful artificial world.
Are there limits to virtual reality? The only limits are the availability of cheap computing power and content.
Everyone on this team is a virtual reality enthusiast and we love hearing from our readers. If you have any questions or content recommendations, please drop a comment on one of our articles or send a private message to the team.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Meet the Team
Donny Klien – Chief Editor
My name is Donny Klien and I’m the Chief Editor for Top Best VR.
I’m a guy with a huge passion for technology and computers. When I was just a kid, I began using an AMSTRAD CPC 464 for playing games and even developing some cool stuff. Now, I spend my time experimenting with the newest virtual reality trends, such as Oculus Rift.
One of the most exciting things about virtual reality to me is watching the individual pieces draw together to reveal the entire puzzle. I’ve been reporting on the VR industry for nearly five years. I am totally in love with the joy of super cool and super immersive virtual worlds.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending my time at tech conventions. I know that’s technically “work,” but when you love what you do, it never feels like work. When my family can drag me away from the work I love, we enjoy road trips through small-town America. There’s something rewarding about really unplugging and being present in the moment. Feel free to email me at dklein@topbestvr.com
Garrett Jamison – Oculus Rift Specialist
I’m Garrett Jamison and I’m the Oculus Rift Specialist for Top Best VR.
At a young age, I began to revere the sheer power of the world of science fiction, and saw it as a stained glass window that could be used to see the world through. I spent my days devouring countless reruns of Quantum Leap, Star Trek TNG, Sliders, and more. Oh and I lived for The Evil Dead trilogy and MST3K on Saturday mornings.
I began learning everything I could about Oculus when it was first funded as a project on Kickstarter in 2012. A lot of people don’t realize that Facebook actually bought Oculus in 2014 with the hope of taking virtual reality mainstream.
It will be exciting to watch where virtual reality goes in the future and here at Top Best VR, I can be a part of it, and that’s pretty awesome. My email is gjamison@topbestvr.com if you’d like to contact me.
Doug Barrett – Sony PSVR Specialist
I’m Doug Barrett and I’m the Sony PSVR Specialist at Top Best VR.
I began tinkering with computers and gaming systems when I was a kid, and it’s always been a huge passion of mine. Working at Top Best VR has been a rewarding experience for me because the job allows me to focus on learning all that I can about Sony PSVR. Since I was already a Sony PS4 user, I was lucky enough to be one of the early users of PSVR.
It’s great to have a bigger role in the world I love by working at Top Best VR. We’re genuinely committed to bringing you the very best news about this exciting medium. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns you can reach me at dbarrett@topbestvr.com
