SteamVR HTC Vive headsets now shipping – excitements!

As mentioned in Cher Wang’s recent statement, the HTC Vive is hoped to pick things up for the company. It seems that the release of HTC and Steam’s collaborative VR venture has started heading off to developers.

Developers, and many others, have been patiently waiting to get their hands on the highly anticipated Steam HTC Vive virtual reality headset. If you are on the development scheme then you will be pleased to know that the first Vive Developer Editions are now shipping.

In the HTC Vive Developer Edition bundle you will receive a headset, 2 Lighthouse base stations, 2 wireless Steam VR controllers, various cables, instructions, and everything else needed to get started.

SteamVR says:

This week, we have started shipping the Vive Developer Editions. This first wave includes a wide range of developers from major movie studios, triple A developers, to small indie teams working on their first title. We will continue to ship to additional developers through the spring and summer. This will allow developers to target the same system consumers will have in their homes later this year. Remember, while you will need to receive a Developer Edition to post in the Steam VR Hardware Group, the entire community is invited to read and follow along with the developers as they create great virtual reality experiences.”
