HTC and Valve have hit a high note with the Vive Pre. It's a country mile ahead of the Oculus Rift in terms of interactivity and immersion and is simply stunning. We challenge anyone to try the Vive and not be impressed.

HTC Vive Pre review
Before trying out the HTC Vive at GDC 2016, I signed an agreement that said I couldn't give you a full review of the system. I was told to avoid using strong language and to keep in mind that the demos I saw weren't the final versions.

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

HTC's Vive is Virtual Reality at its Best and Worst

Virtual reality has always been an expensive hobby. Even in 1995, when the only VR option was the Nintendo Virtual Boy , it was hard to justify spending money on the device. It was uncomfortable to wear. It didn't have any good games. And it was a little ahead of its time.

- Incomparable experience
- 6DoF controllers
- Room-scale tracking
- Comfort
- Intuitive interface
Cons:
- Price
- Bulky cable
- Hard on neck and back
- Potential tripping hazard
