HTC Vive Pre: stability of the software could be improved – PC Games Hardware

If the virtual reality glasses HTC Vive works, it creates a great sense of immersion. The first tests of Vive Pre reveal, however, that it is ordered not particularly well to the stability of the software. Until the launch in early April needs to be improved here.

The c’t editorship of Heise had for days the opportunity to test the together developed by HTC and Valve virtual reality goggles HTC Vive Pre. Here, the headset can convince indeed quite the tester stress that first-time buyers on April 8, still need to bring a lot of “experimentation” to be not disappointed them. In particular, the stability of the software seems probably still bring plenty of room for improvement with them.

To start a VR application in the menu, the VR goggles and both controllers in the field of view of the Lighthouse stations must be. If the sight only briefly interrupted, so writes Tester Hartmut Gieselmann, one had already expected a one minute wait. Often the application launch does not work yet. In these cases, the Vive-glasses displays only a red image while the PC screen, the error message indicates that the “Compositor” do not run in full-screen. As practical solution is recommended for this purpose, reset the Steam-VR App. Sometimes that helped during testing anything – then had his glasses off and plugged in again

This usually suddenly occurring compound problems are annoying, especially for eyeglass wearers: Since HTC Vive have installed no diopter correction needs. own vision aid are kept on. Attachment and removal of the VR goggles with a real spectacle including was probably a little more complicated. If you want to not settle the Vive during crashes, sat with the testers often nausea a so very long playing pauses were needed.

However, the Vive also has very clear strengths: Although there are only a handful of demonstration applications that are able not to tie extra long usually, yet in a very good immersion feeling recorded. As with other spectacles, the sub-pixel grid can be seen at close inspection of the displays, but objects and writings were adapted so that it is hardly noticeable in operation. The movement in virtual space go well properly vonstatten.

The reason for the software instability c’t suspects the variety of hardware configurations. Until the launch in early April Valve will in compatibility although certainly can still make improvements, however, whether all configurations without errors in the end, is questionable. Heise recommends case of problems, especially on the Steam-VR forum resorting
