HTC Vive will show off a 'very big' breakthrough at CES

The HTC Vive has been delayed, but because the team made a big breakthrough. It's keeping this under wraps for now, but will show it off at CES.

The HTC Vive's release was pushed back until April 2016, but apparently there's a very good reason for it. CEO Cher Wang teased that Valve and her team made "a very, very big technological breakthrough" with their virtual reality system.

This breakthrough was so significant that HTC will skip the original version and release a headset that features this breakthrough instead. "We shouldn't make our users swap their systems later just so we could meet the December shipping date," Wang said.
