Kevin Bruce Francisco

Touted as the most immersive experience of any VR (virtual reality) package, the HTC Vive was made in partnership with Valve and involves a Full Room Scale 360 Degree solution so players can get up and go around exploring the actual room and interact with the surroundings.

As mentioned during its announcement, it has high-quality graphics, 90fps video, and some serious hi-fi audio going on to give the player a totally immersive gameplay.

The HTC Vive is currently priced at $799 in the US, NT$28,288 in Taiwan, and JPY111,999 in Japan so that roughly translates to about Php38K when directly converted to our local currency.

Pre-orders start today, February 29, with shipping to roll-out in April. It comes with two wireless VR controllers and two Vive base stations.

The Crecsent Bay model isn’t really for developers and might be a pre-cursor to a 3rd developer kit (DK3) to be made available to developers on a later time.

Oculus was bought by Facebook last March for a reported $2 billion. We were able to try the Oculus Rift last year but it was an old developer kit.
