The Oculus Rift's virtual experiences become a little less immersive when you're barely moving in a chair with a headset on, playing on a gamepad—but you don't have to accept that reality anymore.

If the report were true, this would mean that Apple doesn’t believe in AR anymore and this would be terrible news for all the immersive realities ecosystem. But what sparks the biggest debates are the controllers , with the thumbsticks that are not perfect and don’t click in all directions.

Anyone that has used mobile VR knows that controllers are nice, but unless you can ‘see’ your hands and interact with your surroundings with your hands, the immersion is lost. The real improvements are increased performance, power savings and support for Leap Motion.

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal.

At £5k you’re not going to be adding them to your HTC Vive kit just yet.

At this point, there is another question that every one of us is making: is this a controlled leak by Valve itself? I’m not saying that it is absolutely a controlled leak… I just want to say that personally, I believe that it is. It may just be someone from Valve that is inside the /r/Vive community.
