SteamVR is a Virtual Reality Platform developed by Valve. SteamVR offers an 360 degrees, full room VR experience. It was officially announced on March 1, 2015 during the Mobile World Congress. Valve partnered with HTC to release SteamVR's first device, HTC Vive, an VR HMD similar to Oculus Rift. Unlike Oculus, SteamVR features a "holodeck" experience, allowing the users to move and position themselves freely within a confined space.
