HTC is now shipping the first Vive VR headsets to customers, and Valve announces the launch of Steam VR, a dedicated portal for games and software to support the Vive and other systems. This includes the launches of Audioshield, The Lab, and Tilt Brush. As noted on The Verge, one of the included videos offers a look at VR support for spectators of Dota 2 games. Here's word:

Steam, a leading online destination for games and software, officially expanded into the world of Virtual Reality today as Valve introduced SteamVR, featuring dozens of VR titles from developers around the world. The launch comes the same day HTC began shipment of the Vive, the first complete SteamVR system.

Similar to other areas of Steam, the SteamVR pages showcase dozens of titles and experiences for VR enthusiasts to check out. Some for sale, some free. Some are games, some are something new and totally different. Each has its own page to provide information on the title through images, trailers, and more.

Also today, HTC begins shipment of its Vive VR system. Priced at $799, the Vive is the first complete VR solution, including wireless VR controllers, room scale movement, and an HMD featuring a built in camera. As an added bonus, and for a limited time, those who purchase a Vive will also receive a free copy of Tilt Brush, theBlu, and Fantastic Contraption.
