Valve's Virtual Reality Headset

Valve's virtual reality headset is the one that I found to be one of the more interesting ones. Even though they were very mysterious with the information they were willing to share they still gave out some good information about their device, plus with there companies background we can get a good guess on how this will turn out, not to mention what we hope for in the future from valve with the virtual reality headsets.

Valve's virtual reality headsets seems to be similar to oculus' with the 7 inch LCD dual lens display. Of course with the dual lens display it will be creating a 3D perspective for the viewer. Now although the product is still deep within the development stage there is still hope for what is to come with the invention of the virtual reality headsets.

Since were talking about Valve here, its safe to assume this will be working with their cloud gaming universe, Steam. With all of the games that are on the market today and sold in steam I'm sure valve will be trying to make deals with game developers to incorporate virtual reality into their games. Such as in my presentation when I talked about the Dota 2 demo.

When Valve created Dota 2, they decided to make it a MOBA, or better defined as a multiplayer online battle arena. It was a huge game and very popular running against other MOBA games such as League of Legends and Heros of Newerth. With this valve had a demo put up of it to work with their virtual reality headset which let you have your own personal world with the game being within a map on a computer generated table. With this you could walk up to the map and control more of what your surroundings are instead of just a flat image that shows only the game itself. Now some may say that that is all you need and the extra stuff is just....well extra. I think its interesting they are

trying go in a direction that is constantly pushing the boundaries. Valve has many other game titles

such as Left 4 dead one and two, Half-Life, Portal, and Team fortress that could all benefit from a product such as this. Also with all of the other products on steam and with the PS4 and Oculus I think gaming and virtual reality will definitely have a spot in the gaming world and even if it might be hard for people to accept at first I think it will grow on people and become the new generation of gaming.
