BUR #37297 has been rejected.

create implication oculus_headset -> head-mounted_display
create implication playstation_vr -> head-mounted_display
create implication htc_vive -> head-mounted_display

Just spent some time going through the head-mounted display section for VR headsets. HTC Vive doesn't eally have that many posts yet, owing to the lesser popularity of the platform I suppose, but the implication is useful for the future.

In addition, wondering about the usefulness of an umbrella tag for VR Controllers. I think the tag may be somewhat redundant given we already have the game controller tag, but I think given that we have a subcategory tag for gamepad and arcade stick, VR controllers are sufficiently different enough in appearance to justify another tag like in post #4286232.

It's possible to have a VR headset that isn't being worn, in which case you have a head-mounted display that isn't head-mounted. I guess it's still technically a head-mounted display, but it's not exactly what you might expect when searching for head-mounted displays.

Well, the alternative would be creating an unworn head-mounted display tag, but a head-mounted display would still be in the picture. To me this is like saying unworn panties shouldn't imply panties. It might have some merit as an argument, but it's different from anything else we've been doing so far.
