[[SteamVR]] is a [[Virtual Reality Platform]] developed by [[Valve]] as an extension of [[Steam]]. SteamVR offers a 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]], a 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.
As a platform, SteamVR not only supports its own HMDs such as the [[Vive]] but also other HMDs like the [[Rift]].
