Another Chance For Smartphone Maker HTC And Watch Out For Its Tail

Posted on by

On weekday mornings people line up to go diving in central Taipei without getting wet. They take time off work to try a virtual reality system called HTC Vive, which suddenly plunges you the user to the bottom of an ocean where fish swim within snatching distance. Then a full-sized bluish grey whale with an eye the size of your head comes along and nearly whacks you with its tail. It’s real enough that you wonder if you should turn and swim away. There is no visual hint of the original black-walled, bedroom-sized space that Taiwan-based tech icon HTC uses for demos. Above, below, behind and on both sides of you, it all looks like ocean. Of course it’s actually projected by a headset paired with two handheld controllers linked to a PC.
