Hands on with the HTC Vive
Harvey Norman in Carrickmines set up a demo unit of the HTC Vive on Friday for customers to try out yesterday and today. We popped by to try the virtual reality system from HTC and Valve for ourselves and to see if it really will change how we play videogames.
There was an assistant on hand to pop on headphones and the headset itself before they handed us the Touch controllers. However, it doesn't seem like it would be that challenging to do it all solo. One incredibly useful feature of the Vive setup is that once you put on the VR headset, you can see the Touch controllers, so if someone hands them to you or they're on the ground, it's really easy and intuitive to reach out and take them.
