HTC launched its virtual reality headset Vive, earlier this year. HTC’s Vive is aimed towards giving users a virtual world experience, allowing them to navigate naturally by using motion-tracked handheld controllers. The company has now formally established a studio that will work on developing virtual reality content for its platform.
The studio called Vive Studio was launched alongside the company’s first title from the vision Arcade Saga. “Arcade Saga is a collection of three games that use the Vive’s room-scale VR (which is the capability to move around in a room and actively interact with the VR landscape), said David Sapienza, one of the game’s creators at 2 Bears Studios. The idea is to stoke the VR hardware platform by creating content that will help sell it over time, said Joel Breton, head of the HTC Vive Studios division,” reported VentureBeat.
The game is available for purchase on Steam at $30 (approximately Rs 2,000). “Vive Studios is actively creating content across key categories for VR including games, education, cinematic, design, social, real-estate and sports as well as tools and applications that can revolutionize areas such as media, retail, health care, and location-based entertainment centers and arcades,” the report further added.
