The HTC Vive requires a connection to a PC, preferably a gaming PC with good specs, similar to [[Oculus Rift]]. It does not use a Smartphone as its display or for processing. The display of HTC Vive has a resolution of 2160 x 1200 or 1080 x 1200 per eye with the refresh rate of 90 FPS. The HMD has 6 degrees of freedom tracking with the help of [[Gyroscope]], [[Accelerometer]] and Laser Position Sensor within the device and 2 [[SteamVR Base Stations]] externally. The 2 SteamVR Base Stations are placed high up on the 2 corners of the wall in a 90° angle. These sensors allow you to be accurately tracked to 1/10 of a degree within a 15 feet by 15 feet space. HTC Vive has the ability to transform your entire room into a [[Holodeck]], allowing for a full room VR experience. | The HTC Vive requires a connection to a PC, preferably a gaming PC with good specs, similar to [[Oculus Rift]].
