Predicts ‘PC will be the hotbed for virtual reality’
Virtual reality had a big presence at the Steam Dev Days event in Seattle this week — both from Oculus Rift, as expected, but also from Valve.
The company demonstrated its own prototype VR hardware that,in the words ofTripwire Interactive designer David Hensley, “felt like being in a lucid dream state and very much like a holo deck” and “like an Oculus but a generational leap forward.” Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey himselfdescribed it as“the best virtual reality demo in the world right now.”
Speaking about the field more generally, Abrash noted that he expects “a great VR system at a consumer price” to happen in 2015 or soon thereafter.
