I'm a small firm architect looking to incorporate virtual reality into my design process and client presentations. Which programs are most popular and/or most promising right now for moving from Revit to the VR environment, without requiring a lot of programming skills?

Also are any of the VR headsets clearly better than others for architectural VR?

Sorry if this is not the right forum for this topic.

Virtual Reality: You might try Revit to Enscape to the Oculus Rift.
Augmented / Mixed Reality: I currently go from Revit to SketchUp to a HoloLens.

Now that I've seen this thread, I'll add in the following.
Enscape
3DS Max Live Design
3DS Max Interactive
Lumion Live

Enscape seems to be a really good choice as there's no need to upload and wait. Price isn't bad either.
Unity apparently is also coming out with a workflow.
Hope this helps.

Since Unity and Autodesk announced their partnership at last AU. I can’t yet find any products released . Hope it’s coming soon.

There are a lot of content authoring tools out there.

The best VR headsets for architectural VR are the ones with room scale tracking because you will need to move around and manipulate the environment. These would be the Oculus Rift S and the HTC Vive.

You may also want to look at Mixed Reality with the Microsoft Hololens.

Not sure if you're still looking for info but the best VR headsets are the ones that have room scale tracking (https://cognitive3d.com/blog/room-scale-vr). This is important for seeing different perspectives and manipulating the models.

Examples of these headsets include the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift S.
