 Hey, this is Jake with The Verge, and we're here in San Diego looking at HTC's Vive VR headset. Right now they have this truck over here. They're going to start touring it around the country and giving people demos of the developer kit of the Vive headset. The demo's about half an hour long. It's showing off four different things. And basically, you put on the headset and they hand you two different controllers. When we saw the controllers a few months back, they had wires on them. They've now been improved. They're wireless. So the way the headset works is that there's two boxes in the corner of the room shooting out lasers, and all these little sensors on the front of it track that, and that allows you to move around the room. Other than that, it's fairly similar to the other virtual reality headsets that we've seen, like Oculus or Morpheus. But the big difference is that because it's tracking you throughout the room, you can actually move around a little bit and look over things and kind of interact with things in free space. There are also sensors covering the two wireless controllers, and that allows it to track where your hands are and what you're reaching. A big point of this tour and these demos is to show people that virtual reality is more than about gaming. HTC is showing four different demos that cover a wide variety of subjects. One is storytelling. One is painting. One of the demos, you got to act as a chef. And on one part, it was a game, but it was also being called a job simulator. And the idea is that you could potentially learn skills through virtual reality. HTC wants to have this on sale starting this holiday season. It hasn't said what it's going to cost yet or precisely when people will be able to get it, but it's going to start to detail a lot more of that probably around October. If you haven't experienced virtual reality so far and this truck is coming to a city near you, you should definitely check it out. It's a really fun way to see what virtual reality is capable of and, in particular, what the Vive headset is going to be like when we find out more about it later this year.
