  1. wrote: I have the Viveport software installed. While testing on the Oculus, I set the Vive services to disabled and reboot. Occasionally the Vive processes still start up and take controll of the VR headset from the Oculus Home SDK and drop me in to the SteamVR / Vive loading screen. I have to use task manager to manually kill off the processes before I can continue developing. I don't think users should have to disable the services or kill processes. The Vive processes should not auto load and take control unless the Vive is actively being used. For users that own both the Vive and Oculus, this may lead them to uninstall the Viveport software. Hi Jumbi! Thank you for highlighting this to us. We are currently testing this and we will get back to you.
  2. wrote: Do you know how long it takes the headset to go into standby mode? I've noticed when I put my controllers and headset down and walk away, sometimes after a few minutes it will be deactivated in SteamVR. Usually mess's up my tracking and I restart steamvr. After waking up from standby mode, it should restart tracking and you should not need to restart SteamVR. Could you share more details about your environment and the SteamVR version installed. Thanks!

  13. This Is Real - Survios 05.06.16 We recently traveled to Los Angeles to visit the Survios studios where the team is developing Raw Data for the HTC Vive. Raw Data is a made-for-VR high-octane combat experience combining elements of shooters with tower defense. Active VR gameplay involves your whole body as you put your wits, boldness and endurance to the test. Intuitive controls completely immerse you within the game world, from engaging with objects to pulling weapons off your body to strategically choosing your loadout. And all the while, you’ll be slashing, shooting, deflecting, ducking and dodging as you fend off waves of androids set to “kill.” This is Real takes a deeper look at the creative process of designing content for the HTC Vive. Check out previous episodes . Find Raw Data on Steam here.
  14. Vive X Is Here 04.29.16 We are proud to announce the launch of Vive X, a global accelerator program targeted at start-ups operating in the virtual reality space. With a 100 million dollar investment fund led by HTC, the program is designed to help cultivate, foster and grow the global VR ecosystem by supporting start-ups and providing them with expertise, special access to advanced VR technology, financial investment, mentorship and unmatched go-to-market support which will ultimately help to build them into valuable content producers or content enablers for the Vive platform. Starting in Beijing, Taipei and San Francisco, with aspirations to roll out across other global hubs in the near future, Vive X offers start-ups the opportunity to be based in one of those cities for an initial growth period. During this period they will have access to funding, leading VR know-how, hands-on coaching, and office space. They will also be invited to demo days, where leading investors will be in attendance, and to HTC’s offices for intensive training with our first-party development studios and to meet key members of the Vive engineering and management teams. “We are very excited about gathering the brightest and the most creative minds to join Vive X. Virtual reality is changing the world, yet to do that effectively it needs a healthy eco-system to expand into the mass market. Through HTC Vive, we look forward to enabling global talent to create interesting and compelling content and to help shape the future of this industry,” said Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC.
