HTC Vive Cosmos review: A future-proof Rift S alternative?

A great VR alternative to the Oculus Rift S, but the Vive's imperfect daylight tracking and a higher price tag hold it back from perfection. Software updates have vastly improved things since launch though.

HTC Vive review: is this brilliant but flawed and demanding product the Betamax of first-gen VR

The HTC Vive is up against the Oculus Rift and Sony's PlayStation VR in the race to be the best and most successful virtual reality headset. I'll say right here and now that as a piece of technology, it probably is the best, but that as a consumer device, it probably won't be the most successful.

HTC Vive Cosmos review

With its streamlined setup, lack of base stations, and tracking that's fairly accurate for the most part, anyone getting their first taste of VR will be rightly impressed with Cosmos. The potential for upgrading in the future sounds tempting, too. However, at £699, it's hardly entry-level money - and that's before you start adding accessories or faceplates with extra functionality. If you don't plan on buying upgrades in the future, the Oculus Rift S offers a similar experience with only slightly inferior visuals for £300 less. And anyone wanting the very best VR right now needs to bite the bullet on Valve's more costly Index. Cosmos has potential, and HTC hasn't been afraid to pump out accessories for the OG Vive, so it may still surprise us - but as a one-box system, it's tough to recommend.

HTC Vive Tracker review: A new way to experience virtual reality

The promise of virtual reality has always been to escape the bounds of your living room or office and enjoy an entirely new world where the same rules don't apply. High-end VR headsets like the HTC Vive have largely delivered on that promise, but if you've ever dabbled in VR you'll know that...

HTC Vive Wireless Adapter Review – Free Your HMD

HTC launched the Vive as the only VR HMD with roomscale support and proper motion controllers over two years ago, and while their competitors have caught up over that time, they've introduced a killer accessory that once again puts them ahead in the realm of movement.

HTC Vive Wireless Adapter : No Tether, No AMD

On its own, HTC Vive, with its room-scale VR capability, offers an immersive VR experience that transports you into virtual worlds. However, there's an ever-present cable you must keep track of that keeps you tethered to the real world.
