Want to step inside the HTC Vive and SteamVR? HTC continues their ‘Vive World Tour’, hauling the headset around the US and beyond to give folks a chance to try out the new headset. The tour makes five stops in August.
HTC is bringing their Vive World Tour bus through the following locales in August:
-
August 2–8: The International, Seattle, WA
-
August 6–9: Gamescom, Cologne, DE
-
August 13–16: TBD, San Francisco, CA
-
August 20–23: TechfestNW, Portland, OR
-
August 27–30: PAX Prime, Seattle, WA
-
August 28–31: Insomnia, Coventry, UK
The Vive tour bus has three demo bays each equipped with the HTC Vive development kit and wireless SteamVR controllers. Demos are a solid 30 minutes, which will hopefully make the wait worth it. Because of the length of each demo, the tour team says they can only get about 60 folks through demos per day.

HTC says that demos are walk-up only and provided on a first-come first-served basis. Further tour stops have been announced through October. Keep your eyes on the HTC blog and Facebook page for the latest info on the tour.
HTC and Valve say that the Vive will go on sale in Q4 of 2015. Valve is still accepting developer applications for HTC Vive hardware.
