Valve’s VR tech sighted
[img]http://gon.cdn.on.net/uploads/2014/06/valves_vr_headset.jpg[/img] New details have been released about Valve’s VR head mounted display prototype after it was shown off to developers at the Boston VR game jam. The company allowed visitors access to the hardware, who were shown a series of demos that show off its augmented reality technology. Reddit user jonomf was one of those lucky visitors, and has posted some photos and impressions. The same user also posted about an in-development demo showcasing Dota 2, though the post has since been deleted. “[Valve] mentioned offhandedly that they have a Dota 2 VR experience where you see the entire game arena sitting on a table in front of you and can bend down to inspect any piece of the action,” said Jonomf. “They also mentioned a life-size Dota 2 VR experience where you’re hanging out in a lane watching the heroes fight; they said it was very scary.” http://games.on.net/2014/06/friday-tech-roundup-06-june-2014-valves-vr-tech-sighted-quantum-teleportation-a-step-closer/

That's the version they use at their desktop. If they want to test things without going into "The Room". And I doubt anyone will release VR before Oculus. Only Sony has a chance (if they want to rush for first mover status). All of the so-called competitors are basically in Oculus' old position. Trying to drum up VC support, because without money, you'll never be more than an expensive hobbyist kit. EDIT: Okay, Samsung will. But that doesn't really count since: 1.) It's a phone add-on meant more for media than gaming and 2.) It's an Oculus partnership running Oculus software.
