Case Study Of HTC Vive

In short, it’s still too early to call a winner, and the similarities in specifications don’t help. The main difference to note is restriction on movement. While the Rift is designed primarily for use in a seated position, the Vive is meant to track a user’s movement within a small confined area, which is still quite a large one. This means the Rift will be more restrictive and stationary, but will also require less space and setup to use.

What is HTC Vive?
HTC Vive is a virtual reality head-mounted display that is in development between HTC and Valve Corporation. The gadget is also part of Valve’s major project, called SteamVR. The Vive’s headset hangs off the temples of your head and its headband wrapped around much like the Oculus’

The consumer model of the Rift is releasing on 2016, while the HTC promises limited quantities of the Vive will be available at the end of December, with more quantities shipping alongside the Rift in the first quarter by June.

The Vive will probably be priced in that range, though the current development kit is free, only if you’re approved, but controllers are separately much like those for the Rift.

Conclusion
We have yet to test out the consumer versions of the two competing HMDs’ so it will remain a mystery, but not for too long. The Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are two of the most hyped VR headsets soon to be battling for first place alongside Sony’s PlayStation VR, however, it also depends on the price as it conceals the winner.
