HTC will be taking their new wearable headset co-created with Valve, the HTC Vive, on a World Tour through a series of gaming conventions and events.
HTC announced earlier this year that they would be competing with the Oculus Rift with their own headset, the HTC Vive, which was created in conjunction with Valve. The HTC Vive currently has a potential release date of November 2015 so they have decided to kick the PR schedule up a notch and showcase the amazing new technology around the world.
