This is exciting news especially since we are seeing fixes and feature additions with nearly every Steam VR Beta release. That means developers are busily creating, testing, and reporting VR apps on macOS for us to use and enjoy. With the release of the iMac Pro and it's powerful internal GPU VEGA guts from AMD, not only will it be a great development platform for Steam VR applications, but a great system for enjoying those apps as well.
