HTC has unveiled the Vive Focus Vision, a new XR headset designed for both enterprises and high-end gamers. Featuring high-end specifications, including auto-IPD adjustment, stereoscopic passthrough cameras, and DisplayPort mode for PCVR, the Vive Focus Vision aims to deliver an immersive and high-fidelity experience. With its focus on multi-user scenarios, the headset is ideal for VR arcades, employee training, and other collaborative environments.
HTC, a once-prominent player in the smartphone market, has been largely absent since 2019. However, a recent teaser from HTC Taiwan suggests that a new phone, the HTC U24 Pro, may be on the horizon. The teaser features a promo image of a phone with a June 12, 2024, launch date. While HTC has not officially confirmed the details of the new device, leaks from the Google Play Console provide some insights into its potential specifications. The HTC U24 Pro is expected to sport a 2436 x 1080 screen, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, 12GB of RAM, and Android 14. Despite its return to the market, it remains unclear how HTC plans to compete with established players like Samsung and OnePlus. The U24 Pro’s limited global release and lack of flagship-level specifications may hinder its ability to regain significant market share.
The HTC Vive XR Elite is a versatile VR headset that offers three different modes of operation: PC VR, standalone VR, and glasses mode. It’s comfortable to wear, has a good app store, and works well for both gaming and productivity. However, the display resolution is lower than some other headsets, and the standalone app store is smaller than Meta’s.
