1. Room-Scale VR: The Vive is one of the few platforms that supports room-scale VR, allowing users to move around and interact with virtual objects in a 3D environment. This requires a larger play space than other platforms, as well as additional hardware such as external sensors.
2. Hand Controllers: The Vive’s hand controllers are designed to provide precise and accurate tracking of hand movements, allowing users to interact with virtual objects in ways that are not possible on other platforms.
3. Room Setup: The Vive requires users to set up their play space in a specific way, with external sensors placed around the room to track the user’s movements. This makes the setup process more involved than with other platforms.
4. Price: The Vive is one of the more expensive platforms, with the headset and controllers costing several hundred dollars. This puts it out of reach for many users, while other platforms such as the Oculus Rift are much more affordable.
