'Valve' developed a portable headset that functions as a VR news generator. As more consumers become familiar with VR technology, there is a growing demand for more VR content. This tool provides a way for consumers to stay up to date on current events by immersing themselves in the stories.
The 'Virtual Reality News Generator' from 'Valve' is a headset that delivers VR news content. Unlike other VR headsets, the Virtual Reality News Generator includes a small hammer that strikes the user in the temple in order to mimic the feeling of being in the midst of an ongoing news story.
