Seems Valve ditched their partnership with HTC and will be releasing their own VR headset this June. Also was confirmed to not simply be an April Fools gag by Valve.

As The Verge points out there seems to be several wide-angle cameras to prevent any room-based bumps, as well as a slider for folks who might not adjust to VR as well as others. The longstanding wild rumor is that Half-Life 3 will be a VR experience to help sell Valve's future vision of VR (but not necessarily at launch).
