Valve HTC Vive Controller News Update: New Gadgets To Enhance User's VR Experience

Valve has revealed the new HTC Vive controller during the Steam Dev Days conference in Seattle recently. These new gadgets are supposedly going to enhance the user's VR experience.

Doug Lombardi, spokesman for Valve, said the prototypes for the HTC Vive controller were teased in order to get some reaction from the developers and address their concerns, if there are any.

In an interview with CNET, Lombardi said that Valve released the HTC Vive controller after realizing that it will give the user that tactile feel when they are exploring the world of virtual reality.

"Designers can shape their game so the bottom half of tools in the game match up with the controller," he said. "But with hands, it feels more like you're just using your hands to do things."

According to

The HTC Vive headset costs about $800, but there's no word yet on how much the Valve controllers will cost.
