The HTC Vive

The HTC Vive is a virtual reality headset that transforms the space you're in into a 3D virtual space the user can interact with. The Vive also comes with handheld controllers that track your arm and hand movements, allowing you to hold, throw, and interact with the objects in the virtual space in a multitude of ways.

Setting Up the HTC Vive

1. Plug the cord from the headset into either the PC or the port on the desk near the monitors.
2. Turn on the two handheld controllers by pressing the button under the large thumb pad. Do this after step 2 in the "Starting the HTC Vive" section of the tutorial
