Workstations That Are Virtual-Reality-Ready (VR-Ready)

The hype about virtual reality (VR) is at an all-time high with the recent releases of the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift headsets, in addition to Facebook’s announcements underscoring the importance of creating a “true social presence,” and VR lip-reading in addition to making virtual reality indistinguishable from reality. Besides the press hype and the lofty, detached-from-reality goals at Facebook, all of this VR development is going to require some serious hardware, especially when it comes to graphics processing. Accordingly, VR-ready graphics processing units (GPUs) are starting to hit the market and their manufacturers want you to know that they’re ready and willing to fuel the home VR experience.
