          HTC Vive vs Oculus Rift - User Opinions

            The Oculus Rift is a powerful, PC-tethered VR headset that's even more appealing now thanks a lower price and the inclusion of Oculus Touch motion controllers. The HTC Vive is a comprehensive PC-tethered virtual reality system that supports both motion controls and whole-room VR.
