The preview is currently only available on Google’s Nexus phone, as the case has been in the past, but it looks like that might change.

Indicated there is support for more devices, including those made by OEM partners.  Of course, you have to take this information with a grain of salt as Google hasn’t confirmed any of these. But if it were true, would you be interested in trying it out?

Video shows off the VR experience using the HTC Vive

 

It’s hard to explain what using a virtual reality device is like. This new Valve trailer featuring the HTC Vive shows what it’s like to play games using a VR headset. A lot of the games and experiences shown in the video come with the Vive for free including The Lab, Hover Junkers, Everest VR, Tilt Brush, to name a few. One of the things that sets the Vive apart from the Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR is it allows for room-scale and it comes with motion controllers. This allows you to physically walk around in a virtual space, giving a different kind of immersive experience.
