HTC recently clarified its official launch of the highly-anticipated virtual reality headset HTC Vive. In August, the company promised that it is eyeing for an official launch in the first quarter of next year.
In a blog post, the company explained, “We will be starting the new year by making an additional 7,000 units available to developers, followed by commercial availability in April 2016. We are incredibly excited about the future and look forward to sharing more information as we move forward towards launch.”
The high-end wearable created in partnership with Valve through the SteamVR program may get the limelight it deserves prior to the official launch date. The Verge reports that HTC has promised to demo the headset in several popular public events, including Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, the Game Developers Conference, and Mobile World Congress. However, there is no word yet on how much HTC Vive will cost commercially, or how it will be sold to end consumers.
