HTC’s Vive headset, powered by SteamVR, with its 360-Degree Solution that pulls those virtual worlds off your computer screen and into your home. Users experience sights and sounds vivid and lifelike enough to transport to another place, another time — whole new realities with limitless possibilities.

The Vive headset was developed in conjunction with Valve, creators of such ground-breaking games as Portal and Half-Life. HTC manufactures some of the finest consumer electronics on the planet and Valve is an unrivaled architect of virtual worlds. Vive is powered by Valve’s SteamVR so plenty of games that take advantage of its capabilities will soon be available on the Steam service.

A 1,200 by 1,080 pixel screen in front of each eye, with refresh rates of a blistering 90 frames per second, displays photorealistic imagery that fills your field of vision in all directions, eliminating the jitter common to previous VR technologies and transporting users to another world.

Moreover, a gyrosensor, accelerometer, and laser position sensor combine to precisely track the rotation of users’ head on both axes to an accuracy of 1/10th of a degree, allowing users to look around the virtual environment naturally. Couple the headset with a pair of Steam VR base stations to track your physical location (in spaces up to 15 feet by 15 feet) — get up and walk around inisde the virtual world.

Ergonomic VR game controllers in each hand allow users to use virtual objects and interact with the virtual world. The position of each controller is tracked in space, allowing developers to simulate a wide range of activities and interactions.

The HTC Vive begins demonstrating in Taiwan on December 15 to January 3 at booth R407 in the Syntrend Creative Park, from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Along with six games available. Namely, Apecture Robot Repair, Arizona Sunshine, Job Simulator Office, Secret Shop, The Blue and Tilt Brush.
