Valve’s gentle probing of VR has just been kicked up a notch. At GDC, next week, Valve will be revealing a “previously unannounced SteamVR hardware system” along with the new Steam Controller and devices for the living room.

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Valve partners with HTC to produce virtual reality headset "HTC Vive" using SteamVR

 

The specs on the developer edition are impressive - a 1200x1080 screen in each eye, powered by a 90Hz refresh rate. It’ll also feature full 360 degree rotational viewing support. There’s audio jacks in the headset itself, allowing you to plug in your own audio solutions. A combination of a gyrosensor, accelerometer and laser position sensor will provide tracking accuracy of “1/10th of a degree”, aided by two SteamVR base stations to track your physical location in spaces up to "15x15 feet".

Maybe back to some gaming... LOL ;)

 

 

I see us standing in the front yard with one of these or a Hologlass clamped on our heads, waving our arms like lunatics and shouting; "Extrude", "Bevel", "Move", "Primitive", "Sphere", "Boolean,Add", as people walk past, looking at us like we're madmen as they scurry home to watch Chinese MILF Pr0n.
