Test Chamber – Exploring Valve's Premiere VR Experience: The Lab
After weeks familiarizing ourselves with the new technology, we rolled out a bevy of VR reviews last Friday, including hardware evaluations of both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Among our reviews is a look at The Lab, a collection of VR experiences built to showcase the potential of the HTC Vive. Andrew Reiner had yet to try out the magic of room-scale VR, so he and I entered the virtual world to take a tour through Valve’s charming simulation.
In our first-ever Vive Test Chamber video, we take a look at everything from shooting a bow and arrow to visiting DotA’s Secrets Shop (we were unable to capture the Robot Repair mini game, much to our dismay). Within the video, you’ll be able to see both the visuals from the game, along with a filmed view of Reiner’s movements. Enjoy!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
