Here’s where you can try on HTC’s Vive VR headset this year

If you’re eager to try on HTC’s Vive VR headset, which blew us away back at Mobile World Congress, you may soon have your chance. HTC just announced a world tour for the Vive, starting this week at San Diego Comic-Con, stretching all the way into the Paris Games Week in November. You can check out a full list of cities and dates below, but take note that they’re subject to change. The Vive, developed together with Valve, is a VR headset similar to the Oculus Rift, but it also includes some positional laser sensors which can track your movement around a room. It was so immersive it made Engadget’s Nicole Lee a believer in VR. Our only issue with this news? We’re noticing a distinct lack of East Coast dates. New York City wants to see the Vive already, HTC!

Here are HTC’s current tour stops for the Vive:

• July 9-12, Island St & 6th Ave, San Diego, CA, USA
• July 17-19, Forecastle Festival [Invite Only], Louisville, KY, USA
