The emerging virtual reality market was already on the edge of its seat in anticipation of HTC and Valve’s expected announcement of the price for their HTC Vive virtual reality headset at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona tomorrow.
But surprise! Thanks to a leak earlier this morning, we now know the SteamVR-powered system will cost $799 and come with two controllers for each hand, in addition to two base stations for tracking motion in a room-sized environment. It’ll also have Bluetooth support for smartphone integration and come with two free game: Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraption.
