VR Locations

I thought it might be a good idea to list locations that people might be able to try out different types of the VR equipment that is out there.

Be this with shops / companies or just fellow overclockers who would allow people to have ago of theirs.

EGX Birmingham 2016 will probably have the VR machine in full throttle. (so expect oculus, sony, htc headsets and virtuix omni as well)

I was just thinking about this this morning. Great idea. Would love to try one out, at the moment I have pr-ordered without any experience of one at all lol

Hi there

This is fine as long as no competitors are mentioned.

Any chance you guys will have one to demo at the shop?

I mean if i have ago and really like it, i'll need a new pc

i think thats a good idea because hopefully by release stage it will be fairly plug and play. Of course you will need a ton of wipes.

edit: and also a competitor is apparently going to be demoing the Vive in uhmm Bolton also.

Possibly in London as part of a larger games event.

Same here. I've preordered a Vive and would love to try that or a Rift to see if I can live with VR - or if it lives up to my expectations. Not many shows near Newcastle though....

Says you can preorder it there and then, does this mean ocuk will be selling vives?

not immediately when they go into open sale we'll possibly be stocking them.

at present you can only pre-order direct.

OcUK Demo area is now up and running and yes you can even pre-order with OcUK as well, but only in the retail store as of tomorrow.
