The editors didn't like
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
Incredibly immersive, Hardware works well, Decent launch library, Precise, intuitive controls, Easy to set up
Headset cord can get in the way, Field of view isn't wide enough for full immersion, Headset can get sweaty
You'll need three things to experience what the Vive has to offer: a VR-ready computer with a very nice graphics card, enough space for room-scale experiences, and $800. The first two aren't as much of an issue as they seem on the surface. The hardware...

Innovative VR that allows you to move around in a virtual space, Excellent visuals thanks to high-res displays, Controllers are excellent and offer developers many options for use
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
We've played a lot with VR over the years but nothing compares to Vive at its best. When Room Space is working and working well, it is a stunning experience without compare.The issue is that in an average London flat it is very hard to experience it at it...
