The vast majority of virtual reality helmets "salon" arrive for the general public during the first half of next year. Among them, the HTC Vive is probably the one that feeds more fantasies, thanks to a technology for capturing the position in the highly advanced space. Speculation around the output of live are also numerous, so much so that HTC has decided to formally communicate its schedule over the coming months.
In a posting on his blog, the company announced a second-generation headset will be presented at CES 2016, from January 6 to 9, for a stalled commercial release in April. By then, it expects to provide 7,000 additional copies for developers and content producers in VR (virtual reality). The presence of the device in the lounges will also be greatly enhanced, and one should cross it at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in March or SXSW for Austin, also in March. HTC Vive will also be officially presented to the Chinese developers at a conference in Beijing on 18 December. In short, HTC seems determined to go into overdrive and speed up, so that his VR helmet holds the media in field coming months. The product will in any case face strong competitors such as the PlayStation VR Sony and of course the Rift Oculus VR .
