HTC pledges to release Vive VR headset in April 2016

PanARMENIAN.Net - HTC has a set date for the Vive VR headset's commercial release: April 2016, Engadget reports.

In a blog/social media post detailing the device's timeline, HTC said that it's hosting a developer conference in Beijing on December 18 and launching a second-gen dev kit before the masses can start buying the headset. It also plans to distribute 7,000 units to developers in early 2016 and taking the product of its partnership with Valve on a demo tour at a number of key events, such as The Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, GDC and MWC.

Bottom line is that the headset will finally come out next year, likely a bit after the consumer version of Oculus Rift becomes available -- good luck to your poor, poor wallets.
