HTC Vive Focus Vision Revealed, Preorders Live Now
Anyone looking to experience virtual reality can choose from several brands, and if you’re searching for something new, HTC has just announced its latest standalone Vive Vision VR headset. On its own, the headset is priced at $999 ahead of its October 18 launch, but Amazon is offering a very good bundle deal right now that throws in the $149 streaming kit for free.
Some of the marquee features of the Vive Vision headset include eye-tracking for sight-based controls, a pixel-per-eye density of 2248p, automatic IPD adjustment, and a 120-degree field of view. Internally, it has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor as the Meta Quest 3, 12GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage capacity. The screens have a 90Hz refresh rate, but this can be bumped up to 120Hz when connected to a PC via a DisplayPort cable. There’s also MicroSD card support in case you want to load it up with games and the internal storage isn’t big enough.
Another cool feature is that you can quickly swap out batteries on the Focus Vision without losing any progress, as the headset has an internal battery that supplies up to 20 minutes of juice. Each detachable battery pack can provide up to two hours of continuous playtime.
