Why HTC Vive

HTC Vive is one of the top gaming virtual reality headsets delivering advanced technology for a fully immersive VR experience.

With Vive you get:

Superb Image Quality

The wireless Vive headset (wireless adapter sold separately) features a high resolution display with 1080 x 1200 screen panels providing a total resolution of 2160 × 1200 for exceptional image clarity. Vive’s immersive visuals, rich sound, and precise 360-degree controller and movement tracking, combine to create a unique sense of realism that brings any virtual environment to life.

The Vive VR Play Space

You’ve got 15 feet by 15 feet of gaming space with Vive, and Vive’s advanced second-generation tracking expands that area to 33 feet by 33 feet. In that space, you can move about freely and without worry about running into walls or other real-world objects because Vive’s Chaperone system will warn you where the play area boundaries are. Also, you can still see some of the real world through the forward-facing camera so you are oriented in that space, even when wearing the headset.

The Headset

In addition to being your virtual reality viewport, the fully adjustable headset also enables augmented reality gaming experiences, via its front-facing camera.

Intuitive Controls

Vive’s intuitive controls mimic every gesture with impressive accuracy. The controls feature 24 sensors and deliver realistic HD haptic feedback. They also are equipped with a multi-function trackpad, and a dual-stage trigger.

Integrating Virtual Reality and the Real World

While some VR headsets isolate wearers from the real world, the Vive headset, enables real-world integration into your VR experience. It will connect to your mobile device via Bluetooth so you don’t miss important calls or messages. You can also pause the VR functionality and see real-world objects, through the front-facing camera; you don’t have to take the headset off first.

Why Buy Vive?

The Vive product continues to be upgraded, for example, Gen 2 tracking. Vive offers a powerful, fully-immersive VR experience that allows for full room scale up to 33 feet and the option to be wirelessly untethered from your PC. The field of VR is virtually endless and it’s being explored by gamers, educators, artists, businesses, and science, to name a few. Whatever your interest, Vive has virtual experiences just waiting for you to discover.
