The Best in Tech: Ep 2 - 'HTC Vive'

The physical world and digital realms are inching closer to each other with every new product we see related to augmented reality and virtual reality). One of the biggest players in this arena is, surprisingly, HTC. Together with the Valve Corporation, HTC developed the Vive, a headset that uses “room-scale” tracking technology so that you can experience an immersive VR experience.
The HTC Vive was recently launched in South Africa by TVR, and in this episode of The Best in Tech we chat to Mechiel Schoeman, product manager of the newly launched HTC Vive at TVR.

We also chat about what you can do with the Vive and some of the games on Steam you should keep an eye on. Tune in.
