Crazy how much VR has evolved, i remember thinking it would take forever for there to be a headset like the quest 2. I still have my pre ordered htc vive.

+Everson Bernardes Yup The Verge have been on a roll with their top-notch reviewers lately.

I remember in 2020 starting in a tech class where they had an old htc vive full set up. This my first time using the vr headset completely but about two years later & graduated from that high school tech class & I'm still craving the old htc vive feeling.

2:00 how do you like that table? I was going to buy it

"No one has figured out exactly what to do with it" Seriously? Tons of people have done some downright amazing things with it. There hasn't been this much innovation in gaming in a long time. You're crazy.

Is that a Nord in your living room? Nice! Did you record the soundtrack? What model is that? Cant's tell.

so what if u have a small space will it exsclude you from using it until you get a bigger space?

Hi, where did you buy those tripods. What are the specs. Thanks

Good review. Love that you showed the setup process.

The Vive is going to compete with Oculus Rift once its polished? Wait, isnt that the other way around? Oculus Rift doesnt even have hand trackers for sale yet, while Vive have excellent tracking, and above all, a large volume for you to move around in, also much more solid and portable head tracking, a REAL software platform through Steam. How can the Rift even compete with this?

+blackmagic x She was talking about the actual headset, not the experience you get with the headset. The rift is more comfortable and polished but less advanced. The Vive is more advanced but is less comfortable and polished. Also Oculus Home is more simple, intuitive and focused than Steam VR, which could be good or bad depending on your personal experience. It sounds like she is arguing that the Vive does have some advantages over the Rift, but these advantages will be negligible once the touch controls are released. But if you are someone who doesn't want to wait for room scale with motion controllers, Vive is your best option for now.

+Jody Brennan I think we can agree that the Oculus is more ergonomic. For a polished experience, i dont know if I agree. The tracking system that Vive uses is far superior to Oculus (camera based tracking) and is less glitchy. Large tracking volume will not be negligible just because Rift gets hand tracking, especially as hand tracking isnt for seated experience.

@noalarmsplease5872

8 жыл бұрын

blackmagic x That's what I said. The Rift's headset itself is better than the Vive but the technology (tracking) is less advanced. However, for the majority of users, the tracking will be identical between both Vive and Rift because the play area for most users will be small enough that the Vive's superior tracking won't actually make a difference. It's like having a car with 450 horsepower and a car with 500 horsepower. Sure, one is technically better than the other but most people will never be in a situation where they can take advantage of that extra horsepower.

@erikm9768

+Jody Brennan Okay. But until Rift have hand tracking and two cameras to allow a larger volume its quite a bigger difference than that. And for a Rift user to pay for all that they will have paid more or the same as a Vive anyway... i wouldnt choose the Rift unless I knew i would be seated all the time and uninterested in exploring VR in bigger depth.

Out standing review! any new updates since you had it for awhile?

Does mirror's edge officially support VR now or was that a mod/driver?

Thanks for this! Decided to go with the more simple system Occulus Rift as the controllers are more comfortable to me.

can i hook this up on xbox one as well like can play games on xbox 1 using the VR Vive

Great review..!! Very informative too.. i was curious about this product and Adi talks about everything in the right amount of details.. Thanks!! I like the short oops clips that u guys are adding to every video at the end.. They are fun.. The Verge's video team is the best!!

Thanks for an honest review of the Vive. Until now I hadn't heard anyone say anything other than praise for it, its nice to know where it has room to improve.

do i need a larg space to use it ?

Wow, a nice, clear, critical review. I'm digging this!

+Corrosive www.asus.com/Tower-PCs/ROG-G20CB-Oculus-Ready/ I think this is the one they used, so it could be using a 970 or 980, with a Skylake i5 6400 or i7 6700, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM.

Is that her apartment? like her actual home? that's a really nice apartment, I like the way the living room is set up. Also, I would totally buy a vive, but it's $1,149.00 in Canada, and that's way too expensive, that's like half a pay check and for many people an entire paycheck or more, I could buy a motorcycle for that amount of money.

love to know how the Vive runs with sli in a actual game... in the steam Vr test my system gets a very high 8.9 with a couple gtx 780s 16 gig ram and i5 3570k

I loved this thing and now I ordered Vision Pro to experience the new generation of VR all over again

So what's unfinished with the hardware???

how I can buy it?

where i found this

Watch the "Tested" review if you want to know how the Vive actually works... This review tells you nothing you need to know except a timelaps for setup.

My biggest question would be the effects of long-term sessions. I know that all headsets have improved tremendously in reducing eye fatigue, but what about perception? I hear of people who have difficulty with depth perception and an unclear sense of space outside of VR after extended use, having to wait before their brains readjust to the normal world. I haven't heard much else about it lately but I'm wondering if this is still a problem.

"It's not a pretty piece of hardware" -- Neither are you, damn gurl.

ID for the first track/song?

Por favor necesito vive room scale vr. Precision tracking 15' x 15'

HTC-VIVE open and buy it?

I used this in a mall a few times for about an hour of total use. It has come a LONG way but has a LONG way to go. Paired with a kick ass alienware this headset really gives you amazing VR experience. We are talking FPS indistinguishable from reality. But of course, the quality isn't quite there. Whoever buys these early VR's is going to hate themselves. These little guys will be 100X better in about a year or so. But find your nearest microsoft store and try this.

This seems like a huge difference in expectations than what the Oculus Rift has in the immediate future. I want to be able to walk around and feel like I'm in the world and it looks like now ONLY the Vive can provide that. But what about the reverse? Oculus is suposed to have very precise rotation so when you are sitting down it feels very 1:1. Does the Vive also have this precision or is that the caveat to making your whole room a part of the game?

+piclemaniscool tracking is smooth on both, but VIVE has the advantage here. Oculus uses a single directional camera with a cone view in front of it, and not really ideal for tracking anything that's not immediately in front of it. In other words, Vive can do what Oculus can, but not vice versa. Oculus's advantage is primarily its price, polished aesthetics, and having a different set of library of games. Obviously the latter may not be a long term advantage, as profiles will likely be built for both systems eventually. I'm not saying the Vive will be a clear winner from here on though, as Rift can definitely improve in the next versions, and Rift Touch will close the gap between the two products by a little.

Great review! well done

is it support on m8

I really liked your present review of Vive. simple and straight. Ok, it´s a video from 2016, but I only heard a few things about Vive, I did not know much of the specs that you´ve mentioned here. So, thanks for the video. I am thinking buy a VR set but i don´t know wich one is better, the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift

หาซื้อที่ไหนได้บ้างบอกที่ครับ

Nice intro. We use HTC Vive with Simlab software for Product Design visualisation.

Of all these reviews of Rift and Vive online, I just want to see reviewers to play some flight or space sims like DCS A-10 or Elite Dangerous and some racing sims like Assetto Corsa or Project Cars. Hell, I'd be happy with a Team Fortress 2 experience. A lot of these games have support already. I want to know how these headsets enhance what I already have (a major selling point).

What coffee table is that?

I'm going to have to rethink my whole house setup in order to do this...but...I still want a VR headset so bad!

this need mob ?

FLEKS OR GOOGLE KEYBOARD????

Harganya berapa???

I still want to get a multidirectional treadmill for this, if I ever buy it.

good job with the review.. I liked it..

Good Review. Well Written.

Total​ encapsulated helmet for VR technology, with special futures like air wave technology, voice interactions, wind, air smell, and temperature detection in a simulated world. The helmet will correspond with the gaming experience.

Shove the furniture out of the way, I'm setting up my VR room!

I think that it this will change working out

why not gloves wit thees sticks sensors instead of sticks ? Clearly when you try to lift something wit a hand you feel you use your arm muscles gets a sensation but then ther is the magic in the game that would bend stuff like pressure points of an arm that make a brutal sword swing of curs you are strong enough to do that ,so there is a lvl sensation that should be allowed in a game a stress limit

Thanks for the review. I just bought a PSVR and returned it due to tracking issues. The Vive definitely looks to be the best of the bunch, but why they heck couldn't they make the headset more ergonomic? Sony really nailed the design of theirs. I think I will keep waiting, but if Vive makes it to the next generation, I will seriously consider i t. Any comment's on HTC's customer support? I've read many reviews on Amazon saying it's atrocious. That right there is enough to turn me off from buying their product.

That front facing camera is a huge plus, however, I would kind of like an AR view that glows when you're about to hit something. You hear me Valve? I feel it would prevent incidents like the blooper in the video.

+JOENY_VEGAS The Vive comes with wall mounts (she did not use them) and need to be placed about a foot above your head slightly angled downward.

I think VR gaming will pick up steam over the next years as VR and AR interactions will bring a new user experience for people who use the internet and want to see different worlds. Ironically it kind of makes perfect sense for us to be using VR with Covid19 shutting down the real world.
