  • Un suivi dans l'espace vraiment précis, Des graphismes convainquants, avec peu de latence: Des manettes faciles à utiliser, Un choix de jeux important
  • Nécessite beaucoup d'espace et de nombreuses prises électriques, L'interface SteamVR difficile à utiliser
  • Le Vive propose à l’heure actuelle l’expérience de réalité virtuelle la plus complète et immersive. Au lieu d’enraciner le joueur à son bureau et lui proposer un monde à 360 degrés tout autour de lui, le HTC Vive lui permet de se lever et d’aller l’explor...

  • Technologie de suivi de mouvements, Casque relativement bien pensé, Ergonomie des contrôleurs
  • Prix astronomique, Place nécessaire, Câble contraignant, Ensemble encombrant
