  • Abstract:  De HTC Vive is een technologisch wonder en een magische ervaring. De headset en de controllers maken samen een immersie mogelijk waar andere media slechts van kunnen dromen. De resolutie is nog niet wat het moet zijn en de headset is niet comfortabel geno...

  • De HTC Vive heeft in de afgelopen tijd grote indruk op ons gemaakt en dat heeft alles te maken met het Lighthouse-trackingsysteem en de controllers. Die zorgen ervoor dat je totaal vergeet wat er om je heen gebeurt en helemaal de vr-wereld ingezogen word...

  Published: 2016-04-14, Author: Wilbert , review by: gamer.nl

  • Abstract:  De futuristische koortsdroom van virtual reality is eindelijk uitgekomen. Na een geruchtmakende onthulling in 2015 kreeg Oculus, de drijvende kracht achter de hergeboorte van de vr-hype, er in HTC en Valve Software een serieuze concurrent erbij. Niet alle...

  • Abstract:  Daniël probeerde in Barcelona de consumentenversie van HTC's VR-bril. Gaat VR het tij keren voor HTC?HTC verkeert al enkele jaren in zwaar weer. De verkoop van smartphones neemt drastisch af en het marktaandeel is verdampt. Met dat feit in je achterhoofd...

  Published: 2015-09-08, review by: bright.nl

  • Abstract:  HTC's VR-bril Vive los het probleem van snel misselijk worden op. Door allerlei sensoren beweegt het beeld van de Vive mee met je lichaam. Zet 'm op je hoofd en blijf in de stoel zitten: dat is bij de meeste virtual reality-brillen de regel. Met een con...

  • Abstract:  Gamescom is een beurs die draait om games. Toch is er een reden dat HTC, een fabrikant die we kennen van smartphones en hier en daar een tablet, ruim vertegenwoordigd was. Het Taiwanese bedrijf ontwikkelt namelijk samen met Valve een virtual-reality-bri...

  • Indrukwekkende ervaring, Elke beweging haarscherp gedetecteerd, Comfortabel voor brildragers, Gigantische Steambibliotheek
  • Draagcomfort na lange sessies, Geen geïntegreerde hoofdtelefoon, Snel starten is lastig, Headset heeft drie kabels nodig
  • De meest indrukwekkende virtual reality-ervaring is zonder twijfel de HTC Vive. Bewegen en handelen in VR zoals in het echte leven is bijzonder… zolang je geprikkeld blijft...
