HTC Vive // PC VR Room-Scale Station01 / The experience
What this
headset offers.
A dedicated station. A fully interactive experience. We’ll match the equipment and application to the experience you want to run.
Room-scale interaction
Six-degrees-of-freedom tracking follows both position and orientation. Participants can look around, move within the defined play area and interact using the Vive controllers.
PC-powered experiences
A compatible computer runs the application. Share your game, training software or custom experience so we can confirm the PC and connection requirements.
Planned event stations
External tracking and a tethered headset suit a planned installation. We help account for base-station positioning, cable routing and participant space.
