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

Room-scale is the best kind of VR, Motion controllers make you feel even more immersed, Steam support means it's easier to get games
Heavier, less secure on your bonce than Oculus Rift, Fiddly firmware and a mess of cables, Currently lacking fully formed games
Vive asks more from you than the Rift does. You need a monstrous gaming PC for both, but you'll need more cash, more patience and more physical space for Vive. Do I think it's worth all that?Hell yes.Just for a minute, forget the fact that Vive doesn't fe...
Abstract: Note: This article was first published on 1st July 2016.At PhP 59,950 , the HTC Vive VR headset seemed like it would cost a pretty penny for a gaming experience in Virtual Reality (VR). We were able to give it a try at MWC Shanghai 2016, where many of the...
