We've been waiting for the consumer version of HTC Vive – the company's virtual reality (VR) system – to land in our living rooms for some time. It's hard to describe the heightened feeling of excitement that accompanies the launch of a brand new technology, finally, onto the mass market.

Innovative VR that allows you to move around in a virtual space; excellent visuals thanks to high-res displays; controllers are excellent and offer developers many options for use

Setup is far from straight forward thanks to sensor placement; occasional crashes when installing; Room Space requires a large area to play in; headphones not built-in

Undoubtedly the best VR headset you can currently buy, but know its limits before you rush in

Before trying out the HTC Vive at GDC 2016, I signed an agreement that said I couldn't give you a full review of the system. I was told to avoid using strong language and to keep in mind that the demos I saw weren't the final versions.

That about wraps things up here. We hope that answers some of the questions and curiosities that some of you might have had about the Lighthouse Tracking System. Feel free to discuss further in the comments below!

HTC and Valve have hit a high note with the Vive Pre. It's a country mile ahead of the Oculus Rift in terms of interactivity and immersion and is simply stunning. We challenge anyone to try the Vive and not be impressed.

HTC's announcement of a virtual reality headset, created in partnership with world-leading games company Valve (Half Life, Portal, Steam…), took Mobile World Congress entirely by surprise on Sunday.
