At get-IT-easy, standalone VR rental means: headsets that run without a gaming PC or base stations, because the computing power and tracking are built right into the device itself. Starting at 18 € plus tax, models from Meta Quest, Pico, and HTC Vive are available for trade show appearances and team training sessions. There is rental available for as little as one day, and we deliver throughout Germany. Once on site, all you have to do is unpack and put them on; your application can be pre-installed upon request.
A standalone VR headset is a VR headset that works without an external computer, console, or smartphone. The processor, display, battery, tracking system, speakers, and controllers are all built into the device or included in the set. This makes standalone VR headsets particularly easy to use in a variety of locations.
This is a major advantage for companies: fewer cables, less setup time, and fewer technical dependencies. Especially at trade shows, training sessions, events, or product presentations, standalone VR headsets provide a quick and controlled introduction to virtual reality.

When is it worth buying a standalone VR headset?
Standalone VR headsets are particularly worthwhile when VR needs to be used quickly, on the go, and without complex technology. Companies often use standalone VR headsets for presentations, training sessions, workshops, recruiting, product demos, or immersive trade show experiences.
The main advantage is its ease of scalability. If multiple people are to use a VR application—either one after another or simultaneously—it’s much easier to manage multiple headsets than a traditional PC VR setup with a computer, cables, and sensors. Alternatively, we offer VR headset rentals.

Plan charging, hygiene, support, and device management well in advance.
VR rental for Trade Shows and Events
At trade shows and events, VR needs to run quickly. Visitors shouldn’t have to wait long, booth staff need to be able to operate the application confidently, and user handoffs need to go smoothly. Standalone VR is particularly well-suited for this because it doesn’t require an external PC.
For a professional trade show presence, you shouldn’t just plan for the headsets. TV streaming, hygiene supplies, batteries, charging stations, staff support, and a clear workflow for each demo are also important. If you want viewers to see what the person wearing the glasses is experiencing, a display at the booth can be useful.
Important for trade shows and events
a sufficient number of items to accommodate the expected number of visitors
Short, well-structured VR demos
Hygiene supplies for multiple users in succession
Scheduling for Long Event Days
TV or monitor for viewers
A router or a stable Wi-Fi connection when streaming or app access is needed
Backup device for important presentations
Brief orientation for booth staff
If you want the VR experience to be visible to viewers, you can also rent a TV or rent a monitor for rental. For control, casting, or support, you can also rent a tablet may be a good idea.
Standalone VR for Education and Training
Standalone VR is particularly useful for training sessions, workshops, and seminars because multiple people can work with identical headsets. This simplifies preparation, instruction, and support. Content can be set up in advance upon request so that the devices can be used right in the training room.
VR can help make processes more tangible, especially in safety training, product training, onboarding, or technical learning modules. However, it is important that all devices are running the same version and that the application has been tested before use.
Check before the training begins
Which app or content should be used?
How many participants use VR at the same time?
Should all headsets be configured identically?
Is Wi-Fi required?
How long does a workout last?
How are user changes and cleaning organized?
Who maintains the equipment on site?
Plan for standalone VR accessories right from the start
A standalone VR headset is quick to set up, but for professional projects, the headset alone is often not enough. Especially when there are many users, long event days, or multiple stations, accessories should be factored into the planning from the start.
Useful Accessories for Standalone VR
Hygiene Supplies and Silicone Masks
more comfortable head straps
Battery packs or battery headstraps
Chargers and Charging Hubs
Carrying Case
Controller Replacement or Replacement Unit
TV or Monitor for Casting
Routers for a Stable Network
Tablet for Control or Monitoring
Depending on your project , there is rental of the appropriate accessories through VR Accessories.
Should I buy or opt for rental of a standalone VR headset?
Purchasing is a good option if headsets are used internally on a long-term basis and the company wants to handle setup, management, maintenance, updates, and storage on its own. For temporary projects, events, training sessions, or tests, rental is usually more flexible.

Standalone VR works without an external PC, making it particularly portable and quick to set up. PC VR requires a powerful computer, but in return offers greater graphics performance for demanding simulations, 3D applications, or PC-based software.
Wireless standalone VR headsets, such as the Meta Quest 3, are particularly well-suited for trade shows because they’re quick to set up and work without an external PC. Other important considerations include hygiene supplies, rechargeable batteries, TV streaming, and clear on-site support.
Depending on the project, headsets can be set up. This may include pre-installed apps, pre-configured content, Wi-Fi setup, or specific default settings. The details should be discussed before submitting a request.
Not every app relies on Wi-Fi all the time just to function. However, a stable connection is often needed for app downloads, logins, updates, streaming, casting, or online content.
Many headsets allow for casting or streaming to a TV or monitor. For use at trade shows and events, the setup should be tested in advance to ensure that the headset, display, and network work together reliably.
That depends on the number of visitors, the duration of the demo, and the level of support required. For short demos, a few stations are often sufficient. If there are multiple user groups, training sessions, or a high volume of visitors, you should plan for several headsets and at least one spare unit.
