Reviews
‣ Bringing the Future of VR to Your Living Room - Upload VR
"I stand there in silence, awestruck by the beauty of the moment, drifting mouth agape through the wonder of nature surrounding me. It was an impossibly beautiful moment made possible only with the HTC Vive."
"The Vive’s content library is fairly vast with 69 VR titles available in the Steam Store at launch, more than twice what was available in the Oculus Store."
"Whereas the Oculus Rift’s launch is focused on bridging one medium to the next, using a gamepad controller for all of its early titles, the Vive is focused on charging headfirst into virtual reality’s future. The Rift proves you don’t need room scale and hand tracked controllers to have some impressive VR experiences, the Vive showcases just how much you are going to want them. For those who are looking to invest in VR early, have the space, and don’t mind the $800 price tag – the Vive is an absolute must buy."
‣ You can now buy your own holodeck simulator v1.0 - ArsTechnica
"The HTC Vive is a better simulation of key parts of that holodeck ideal than we had any right to expect from the early 21st century. By combining a 3D virtual reality display, position- and motion-sensitive handheld controllers, and a tracking solution that works over the scale of an entire room, the Vive transports you to a convincing simulated world that you can see and touch (even if you can’t convincingly feel it)."
"It’s natural to be somewhat skeptical of a concept as different as the room-scale virtual reality “holodeck” the Vive is trying to sell. Before you use it, the idea of having to get up and/or move your hands to play a game just seems like a lot of extra effort without much benefit. After all, gaming (and general computing) has been good enough for decades as players sit back on a couch or office chair and twiddle their wrists and fingers a bit. Previous attempts to grow past that setup have been limited and gimmicky. Yet after spending a few weeks with daily immersion in the Vive’s virtual worlds (half of that time in the nearly indistinguishable Vive Pre development kit), I can honestly say I’m still genuinely eager to go back in every evening to tinker with my own private virtual reality universe."
"HTC and Valve will sell you a little glimpse of the future that you can use in your house right now. And when the only real analogies for a new piece of technology come from science fiction, it might be worth overlooking a few hassles."
‣ Move with me - Gamespot
"Where Rift feel's like a VR headset built for mainstream consumption, Vive caters to the hardcore crowd that will stop at nothing to get the best VR experience. To go with Rift is to wade in the waters of VR; choosing Vive is like jumping into the deep end."
‣ Can I fit a Holodeck in my home? - Destructoid
"If you have the space for it, for my money, the HTC Vive blows the Oculus out the water as a long term investment."

Conclusie en Consensus so far; minder comfortabel en kwa set-up meer hassle dan Oculus Rift maar als je de ruimte en het geld hebt zijn de extra feautres het meer dan waard! 
Wat mooi zeg
