In the wake of HTC’s announcement that the HTC Vive will ship on April 1st and cost $799, here’s 51 seconds of industrial design to give you a really good look at the headset you as a potential buyer could be spending an awful lot of time wearing.

OK, so not a huge amount new here, but you do get a nice revolving tour of the device and anyone who’s had their hands on with the ‘Pre’ developer version of the HTC Vive will probably already know to expect here. Find out more of what the consumer edition brings right here.

And of course, if you’re a Gear VR owner, don’t forget you can watch the keynote in 360 degrees via the dedicated app available on the Oculus Store now.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.

    Ok how do I cancel my Oculus pre order? I thought the Vive would be much more expensive than that.
