HTC has just
announced the Vive, a virtual reality headset developed in collaboration with
Valve. It will be available to consumers later this year, with a developer
edition coming out this spring. The company has promised to have a significant
presence at the Game Developers Conference next week, where devs will have a
chance to play with Valve's VR technology.
The Vive
Developer Edition uses two 1200 x 1080 displays that refresh at 90 frames per
second, eliminating jitter and achieving photorealistic imagery according to
HTC. The displays are said to envelope your entire field of vision with
360-degree views. The company says in a press release that it's the first
device to offer a full room-scale experience.
