HTC Vive different incumbents competitors in several respects. First of all – so far it is the only device that allows you to wander through the virtual spaces and interact with objects located there.
– Imagine that you are shopping at IKEA. With HTC Vive you can immediately arrange the furniture in the room and look around, look like they will be there – tell me Drew Bamford, vice president of HTC, responsible for user interfaces.

Bamford said that the current version of the device is shown even for developers. It is located in more than 30 sensors that map the environment and allow us to move through the different rooms. In the final version of these sensors will be over 70.
– I suppose it will be the first users of the players, but the use of VR go far beyond playing – convinced Bamford.
And no wonder, with so think . In the end, Vive created in collaboration with Valve, Steam owner, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for games.
The representative of HTC adds that the game is the starting point – the company has teamed up with leading game studios in the world who can create Vive special editions of games. But beyond that pending such a conversation. With HBO. On the device will also be available Google services, including Street View.
Why am I convinced? Because we are dealing with equipment that has to have a screen resolution of better than Oculus Rift, a wider field of view, it also has to track the user’s position in space. But most of all – HTC immediately took care of the delivery of content to Vive.
In the case of Oculus we have to choose a few games, but this device is also beginning to emerge now movies. The first of them had already had the premiere – called “Lost” and takes 5 minutes. For this world and feel of the film is much richer than what we experience in the cinema. The idea of a film studio was created after talks oculus of Holywood. And that enjoys the most – virtual reality equipment to arise not only as a demonstration of the capabilities of the company, but are starting to appear on no content.
HTC may be out of luck for the sale of smartphones, but Vive promises to be – at least for beginning – the future device.
Bamford said that in the spring of equipment will go to the developers, and the market will be the end of the year.
