HTC Vive

Nowadays, the virtual reality world is well-know. Some years ago was presented the Oculus Rift, the first virtual reality glasses. The first screen hasn´t a lot of resolution but it gave a real virtual reality sensation.                                                        

Some years later, the Oculus was improved and other companies stanted their own virtual reality project, like the Samsung, with the Samsung Gear VR( that need a Samsung Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7), Sony, with the Playstation VR( that needs a Playstation 4) and Valve, that has made the HTC Vive glasses, the VR glasses designes for Steam games.

This glasses have a camera in the frontal part and, for use it, you need the controllers, two sensor, that are placed on the walls of the room where you are going to play and, of course, the glasses. Headphones aren´t necesary but wear them improve the experience. For uses the VR glases, you need a computer, a very powreful comoputer. Al least, you need a Core i5, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970, an HDMI port and 4GB of RAM memory.

For the moment, there are only a few of games for the HTC Vive and they are beta games or very short games which don´t cost more than 10 euros. But lots of videogames companies are interested in the Valve VR glasses and they´re developings games for the plataform in the future.

If you want the HTC Vive you can order them for 899 euros. They can look very expensive and surely they are, however, this is a new technology and, I think that in the future the prizes will drop and everybody would enjoy the VR world.
