HTC Vive review: An experience that's out of this world

We've been waiting for the consumer version of HTC Vive – the company's virtual reality (VR) system – to land in our living rooms for some time. It's hard to describe the heightened feeling of excitement that accompanies the launch of a brand new technology, finally, onto the mass market.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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
