DreamHack Will Show Off a VR Headset and Gaming PC Pairing

At the Austin Convention Center this year, attendees of DreamHack 2016 will have the opportunity to test out some of the most dynamic virtual reality technology and experiences through with 'The eSports Experience' from MSI.

The eSports Experience will highlight emerging technologies, including the "the ultimate VR gaming setup" with MSI’s Vortex and HTC’s VIVE. MSI's gaming tower features an upgradable NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 in SLI, Intel Core i7 processors and as much as 64GB of DDR4 memory. In order to put this technology to the test, MSI's booth will allow attendees to put themselves in the shoes of a professional gamer, where gameplay will be livestreamed to an LED screen for the enjoyment of others.

In the future, there will likely be more computer and console pairings like this one where a virtual reality headset will be integral to the future of home and professional gaming.
