Well that was unexpected, Valve and HTC have announced a joint venture at the Mobile World Congress! Introducing the HTC Re Vive headset.
See the announcement trailer:

It sounds like it will be one hell of a device, with masses of sensors and all kinds of gizmos included.
Some specs
- It will use the SteamVR platform
- Refresh rate of 90FPS (do they mean HZ?)
- A gyrosensor, accelerometer, and laser position sensor
- A nice resolution of 1200x1080 per eye
- A headphone jack to use your favourite headphones
- Special controllers to use with it
- Optional Steam VR base stations to track your movements around a room and more!
They don't seem to have show off the controllers they mentioned yet, and our previous image was wrong.
It seems a number of developers are already signed up to create games and other experiences for it.
As for when we can get one, we don't have too long to wait, as you should be able to order one yourself before 2015 is over.
Pretty interesting news, and it’s one less thing to formally announce at GDC next week. They will be showing it off at GDC next week, and you can request an appointment with them here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
