Valve\'s Alan Yates (@vk2zay) spoke with us about the science and technology of virtual reality.\\xa0

Elecia looked at the iFixIt Teardown of the HTC Vive system\\xa0as she was unwilling to take apart Christopher\'s system.\\xa0

Alan shared some of his other favorite reverse engineering efforts:\\xa0Doc OK\\u2019s Lighthouse videos, documentation on github by nairol, and a blog by Trammell Hudson.

Alan\'s sensor circuit diagrams were on twitter:\\xa0SparkleTree sensor circuit\\xa0(think simplified) and the closer-to-production Lighthouse sensor.

Make Magazine talked about Valve\'s R&D Lab. This is important in case you want to work at Valve (they are currently hiring for EE but if that doesn\'t describe you and you want to work there, apply anyway).

Alan also has a website (vk2zay.net)\\xa0though it doesn\'t see much updating right now.
