This era ended with the launch of the first consumer-oriented PC VR headsets: the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift CV1. Google joined forces with Samsung (and Qualcomm) to release a new headset soon.

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.
