HTC Vive provides the VR experience I've been dying to have at home. If you feel like splurging, have the space for Room Scale and are invested enough to drill holes into your walls, by all means, it's a truly immersive experience that you can't miss.
Pros:
- Incredibly immersive
- Room Scale VR
- Comfortable headset
- Superb tracking
- Front facing camera
Cons:
- Very expensive
- Need lots of room for Room Scale
- Set-up may involve holes in walls
- Slight stuttering
- Games aren't polished

A few weeks back, we gave you virtual reality kit. While we were able to explain the Vive's specifications, setup, configuration, and give some opinions on the experience, at that point, we hadn't had the kit long enough to form any solid, concrete opinions.

HTC Vive virtual reality headset indepth review
KitGuru Says: The HTC Vive is a truly wondrous product that shows us what the future of virtual reality is going to be. There are plenty of games to play and the hardware works well for the most part, but just expect to eat into your kid's college fund before you have an adequate game library.
Pros:
- Room scale is hands down
- the best VR experience you can have
- Motion controllers make interaction in VR natural
- Tracking is almost flawless with proper sensor placement
- Chaperone gives you confidence to move around in VR
- Headset is comfortable over long play sessions
- Zero motion sickness...
Cons:
- Clearing space can be a pain
- especially in smaller British homes – but it is worth it
- Set up can be a bit fiddly
- Steam VR still crashes
- Lens contours can occasionally be seen in scenes with bright light sources
- Headset weighting needs improvement
- Crisp
- bright screen makes pixels a little more...

While PlayStation VR plays in a similar space with its hand-tracking facilities, and Oculus Touch has the potential to make Oculus Rift as intuitive as the Vive when it finally launches, I confidently predict neither of them...

HTC Vive VR Headset Review
There's an ethereal, intangible effect that VR has on you, one which lingers long after the headset is off and you're back to your real life responsibilities. The technology still has a ways to go before it's user-friendly enough for the average gamer to set up, and it definitely needs to add some...
