Introducing the VIVE Focus Vision
HTC’s new VIVE headset, the VIVE Focus Vision, targets both the enterprise and high-end gaming markets.
What’s New in the VIVE Focus Vision?
This latest addition joins HTC’s lineup alongside the VIVE XR Elite, VIVE Focus 3, and Vive Pro headsets, as well as the VIVE Flow augmented reality glasses.
Pricing and Variants
The consumer edition is priced at $999, while the enterprise edition costs $1,299. This places it as HTC’s second-most expensive device, just after the VIVE Focus 3.
Features and Enhancements
Shen Ye, HTC’s Global Head of Product, emphasized the device’s dual capabilities, stating: “VIVE Focus Vision offers standalone operation and DisplayPort mode support for visually lossless PCVR experiences.”
Here’s a breakdown of its standout features:
- Eye-tracking and auto-IPD adjustment
- Stereo color passthrough cameras
- Infra-red sensor for low-light hand tracking
- DisplayPort mode for enhanced PCVR visuals
- Dual 16MP color cameras
- Up to 120-degree FOV
- 90Hz refresh rate, with 120Hz via DisplayPort in late 2024
- 5k resolution across both eyes
- Depth sensor for scene recognition
Applications and Industry Use
HTC underscores the headset’s numerous improvements, making it suitable for industrial training, immersive collaboration, and mixed reality applications. Essential upgrades, like an enhanced cooling system and secondary battery integration, ensure prolonged and comfortable XR sessions, even during battery swaps.
Position in the Market
The VIVE Focus Vision is positioned just below the top-tier Focus 3 within HTC’s offering. It’s also slightly more affordable than the Meta Quest Pro, which shares a similar $999.99 price tag but significantly higher than Meta’s entry-level offerings.
Enterprise and Consumer Editions
HTC presents two versions: a consumer edition with gaming bundles and the necessary wired gaming kit, and an enterprise edition that is likely to include business-centric features and services.
Preorders for the VIVE Focus Vision will begin shipping on October 18.
