Immersive free-moving VR

Solid selection of games already available
Nothing else quite like it
Nearly everything. The Vive remains the best virtual reality headset on the market
Bar none. The fact that it allows for room-scale virtual reality should sell it alone
But the fact that it does so in a way that's more believable and fluid than other he

The editors didn't like
Setup is far from straight forward thanks to sensor placement
Occasional crashes when installing
Room Space requires a large area to play in
Headphones not built-in
Neither cheap nor simple
Inevitably bulky & cumbersome
Very few great games
Pain to set up
Software is buggy
Expensive and needs lots of space
Not to beat the proverbial horse here but
Despite all the positives I've mentioned here
Only a small handful of gamers will get to experience VR on the HTC Vive – not because they don't want to
But because $800 / £689 / €899 is just out of their price
Hefty price tag
Initial setup is fiddly
Requires working knowledge of PC setups
Won't work with gaming laptops
Heavier
Less secure on your bonce than Oculus Rift
Fiddly firmware and a mess of cables
Currently lacking fully formed games
Very expensive
Need lots of room for Room Scale
Set-up may involve holes in walls
Slight stuttering
Games aren't polished
It requires a high-end PC to run. Long wires and lots of equipment take time and space to set up. Steam VR offers a lot of software but it isn't always beginner-friendly
Expensive
It's a fingerprint magnet
Not as enticing as the S7 Edge
Most expensive headset on the market
Still aren't quite enough killer apps out there
So. Many. Cables
Requires a lot of space
Cabling can be awkward
Lack of standout games and apps
Bulky
Needs to be tethered to PC
Requires a powerful PC to run
Convoluted installation process
Headset cord can get in the way
Field of view isn't wide enough for full immersion
Headset can get sweaty
Clearing space can be a pain
Especially in smaller British homes – but it is worth it
Set up can be a bit fiddly
Steam VR still crashes
Lens contours can occasionally be seen in scenes with bright light sources
De HTC Vive heeft in de afgelopen tijd grote indruk op ons gemaakt en dat heeft alles te maken met het Lighthouse-trackingsysteem en de controllers. Die zorgen ervoor dat je totaal vergeet wat er om je heen gebeurt en helemaal de vr-wereld ingezogen word...
Abstract: De futuristische koortsdroom van virtual reality is eindelijk uitgekomen. Na een geruchtmakende onthulling in 2015 kreeg Oculus, de drijvende kracht achter de hergeboorte van de vr-hype, er in HTC en Valve Software een serieuze concurrent erbij. Niet alle...

Abstract: HTC's VR-bril Vive los het probleem van snel misselijk worden op. Door allerlei sensoren beweegt het beeld van de Vive mee met je lichaam. Zet 'm op je hoofd en blijf in de stoel zitten: dat is bij de meeste virtual reality-brillen de regel. Met een con...

Abstract: Gamescom is een beurs die draait om games. Toch is er een reden dat HTC, een fabrikant die we kennen van smartphones en hier en daar een tablet, ruim vertegenwoordigd was. Het Taiwanese bedrijf ontwikkelt namelijk samen met Valve een virtual-reality-bri...
Ondanks de obstakels die nog weg moeten worden genomen, lijkt HTC de volgende stap in virtual reality gevonden te hebben. Echt deelnemen aan de virtuele omgeving geeft een nog overweldigender gevoel. Het voelt veel natuurlijker om in deze virtuele omgevin...
