HTC today revealed its next standalone XR headset, the Vive Focus Vision. The company appears to be appealing again to enterprise and prosumers, packing in a mishmash of specs from Vive Focus 3 and Vive Elite XR—priced at $1,000.
HTC launched pre-orders today for its new MR headset, Vive Focus Vision. Pre-orders are available from today through October 17th, after which the headset will presumably launch.
You may recognize many of the specs below from Vive Focus 3, which was released primarily for enterprise in 2021. It has the same controllers, same Fresnel optics and dual 2,448 x 2,448 resolution LCDs, and works with Vive Focus 3 accessories too, like the optional Vive Focus 3 facial tracking module ($100).
Vive Focus Vision however boasts color passthrough for mixed reality, thanks to dual color cameras and depth sensor, bringing it much closer in function to the company’s Quest Pro competitor Vive XR Elite, which was released in 2023 for $1,100 (now $900).
Additionally, it comes with four front-facing tracking cameras and infrared floodlight for illuminated hand tracking.
Packing in Vive XR Elite’s Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 chipset, and comes with built-in eye-tracking—later added an optional module on XR Elite which also tracks the user’s mouth.
The company calls it a “hybrid device,” owing to its ability to play PC VR games via Steam and Viveport. Pre-orders come along with a newly unveiled Vive Wired Streaming Kit for free ($150 MRSP), which includes a 5-meter streaming cable and converter, both with DisplayPort compatibility.
