"A 1,200 by 1,080 pixel screen in front of each eye, with refresh rates of a blistering 90 frames per second."
"A gyrosensor, accelerometer, and laser position sensor combine to precisely track the rotation of your head on both axes to an accuracy of 1/10th of a degree, allowing you to look around the virtual environment naturally. Couple the headset with a pair of Steam VR base stations to track your physical location (in spaces up to 15 feet by 15 feet) – get up and walk around inisde the virtual world! "
"The Vive headset was developed in conjunction with Valve, creators of such ground-breaking games as Portal and Half-Life. HTC manufactures some of the finest consumer electronics on the planet and Valve is an unrivaled architect of virtual worlds, so you know the collaboration is something special. Vive is powered by Valve’s SteamVR so plenty of games that take advantage of its capabilities will soon be available on the Steam service. "

Is it 90hz low persistence. I think it is they just do not mention it anywhere. Looking good for VR anyway.
Valve showed Oculus low persistence. They will obviously have that.
Valve has the longest and deepest experience with this stuff, but I'm now more curious what Oculus can release tomorrow that would bring balance to this "fight"!?
