Valve VR Tech Demo

January 22nd, 2014

There is a revolution going on and the mainstream has no idea. Secretly in a wing of Valve's offices they have been developing VR tech. Tech that is way beyond the Oculus Rift "toy" that some of us have. A headset that has such a high resolution and perfect positional tracking that you can't tell you are in a virtual world.

Stop and think about that for a moment. VR is here. In all its glory. In the hands of one of the most capable game development companies on planet Earth.

A hand picked set of developers from around the world got their first taste of it last week at the "Steam Developer Conference". I just read one such experience and I just had to share it.

Before I do, lets look at the tidbits of the Valve tech demo room:


Here is a snapshot of the last demo they give people:
