 Hi, I'm Addie with The Verge. Yesterday at CES, Nvidia announced what it called the VR Ready program, which is a way to tell if the computer you're buying will work with the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift. The point of this program is that actually very few computers right now can handle these headsets, so we went to check out some ones that can. So why do you want a PC instead of just the Gear VR or Google Cardboard? Because you can actually do some amazing things with the Rift and the Vive. You can scale Everest by actually climbing with your hands. You can shoot people by picking up real guns, well they look like real guns, and firing them at enemies and throwing grenades. It's an amazing experience that you can't get anywhere else. The computer that's VR Ready now might seem hopelessly obsolete in a couple of years. You might, like with PC games, just be constantly chasing better and better specs. Are these VR Ready PCs, are they going to be for gamers? Are they going to be for everyone? Are they going to be for the very few who absolutely want the single best VR experience you can get? We don't know, but for now they're a lot of fun. If you want to see everything else we're doing at CES, you can check us out on YouTube at youtube.com slash the verge.
