Hi all,

We have been working hard to make sure this product is available to you and are now pleased to say you can now place your pre-orders on for the TPCast Wireless Adapter for HTC VIVE!

The production run should complete in the middle of September and so hopefully the first units will land with us 4-6 weeks later. I have the ETA set as mid-October but expect them between then and the end of October. Our allocation on the initial run is limited as they have had to supply launch partners all around the globe so get your pre-orders on ASAP to avoid disappointment!

Has VR actually really taken off that much in the last 12 months? Still seems pricey to me but I haven't really been following VR much. Are people taking up VR enthusiastically or just the die hards still?

2017 will be remembered as the year VR came of age. Games, price, tech, its all coming together now. This Christmas VR will be the number one present I think.

Check the VR Thread to see how much people are enjoying it!

With Fallout et al. due in the next few months AAA titles are coming and will drive even more take up. I can't think of any die-hard Fallout fans who won't be buying a VR headset for that game, if they don't already have one!

so, with a £200 price drop, plus £318 thats £120 or so more then when first released ( or cheaper cant remember if demand pushed up the price) .... damn. thats good value !!!!

I know right... a wireless version is only £120 more than the original purchase price! If you'd have asked me a year ago I'd have expected to pay £300 or more for wireless...

The manufacturer are also using a European distributor meaning we have to pay in Euro's and everyone knows how the euro rate is going at the moment. It would have been even cheaper even just a few weeks ago. The exchange rate has forced the RRP up nearly 10% since I was first talking with the manufacturer about them.

If you're worried about value for money the Windows Mixed Reality headsets are coming very soon. They're slightly higher resolution than the Vive and Rift at 1440x1440 per eye vs 1080x1200 per eye. They'll be £300-350 without VR motion controllers, or £400-450 with controllers.

You can choose from HP, Acer, Asus, Lenovo, and more I've likely forgotten.

The trade-off is they use inside-out tracking so may not be as rock solid reliable as the Vive's Lighthouse laser tracking system is. Also they're wired of course. But they're SteamVR compatible, so can play all the games.

Also LG should be bringing a proper Vive/Rift competitor by Q1 2018 at the latest. It will likely be around the same £600-700 price range, but will be definitely better specs.


EDIT: And I'm no shill for either WindowsMR or LG. I actually bought a Vive myself on day-1, just mentioning what's coming on the horizon if you didn't know.

Can't wait to get my hands on the gorgeous ASUS Headset which has been touted for EUR449

The future is here... The future is VR :)

have to ask, have you guys set up a bridge in the VR room to allow players to try as a team ? guessing would need a ton on tracking boxes- but would be so awesome !!!!!

OFC I have suggested, but the problem is logistics for the guys who look after the demo room and the shop. They don't really have the time to handle 4 people in there, keep x8 controllers charged, etc.etc. It also means that nothing else can really be done in there then apart from ST:BC.

We set it up for our video we did:


BTW you only need 2 lighthouse boxes. All the headsets can use the same 2 boxes as long as there are no LOS issues.
