Virtual Reality Headsets for Quadriplegics?
I have a friend who had a traumatic accident which led to becoming quadriplegic. I would like to give him a virtual reality headset to assist him with exploring the world virtually. There doesn't seem to be a lot of products designed specifically for virtual reality for people with mobility issues. The only company I can find is rendever.com. However there are a lot of VR headsets available. Does anyone have advice for which VR headset is best for people with mobility problems and that are voice and eye movement controlled?

@gratefulbob I was searching online with your title phrase and found this journal about a quad patient using virtual reality and thought it may be of interest.

I also wanted to share this information from Canine Companions for Independence. I knew a woman who ran the Chicago Chapter of CCI. She had use of her arms and was able to utilize a service dog and also to go places and do demonstrations with the dog. That is how I met her. If your friend has no arm function, perhaps a dog wouldn't work out, but in case it is helpful, I wanted to share this.
