HTC VIVE has launched its latest innovation: the VIVE Focus Vision. This new XR headset builds on the popular Vive Focus 3’s technology and is designed to enhance immersive experiences for gamers and enterprise users. According to the manufacturer, VIVE Focus 3 is the only XR headset proven to work in microgravity conditions and used by astronauts on the International Space Station.
The VIVE Focus Vision features upgrades in visuals, comfort, and operational efficiency, making it a versatile solution for standalone gaming, PC virtual reality (PCVR), location-based experiences (LBE), industrial training, and mixed reality applications. Priced at $999, it promises an immersive VR experience.
At the core of the VIVE Focus Vision’s appeal is its ability to deliver lossless PCVR visuals through DisplayPort mode, which connects directly to a PC’s graphics card. This feature is great for gamers with extensive SteamVR collections, as well as organizations needing high-fidelity content for training and collaboration.
Its integrated eye-tracking and auto-IPD (interpupillary distance) adjustment feature is a key highlight. This allows users to share the headset seamlessly, as it automatically adjusts the lenses for sharp visuals. These features are ideal for environments with high user turnover, such as VR arcades, employee training centers, and collaborative mixed-reality spaces.
The VIVE Focus Vision also boasts dual 16MP color cameras for stereoscopic passthrough, giving users a lifelike view of the world while enhancing mixed-reality applications. According to HTC, the device provides excellent image quality thanks to its 5K resolution across both eyes, a 120-degree field of view, and up to 90Hz refresh rate (with 120Hz support arriving in late 2024). Additionally, features like a depth sensor and infrared tracking in low-light environments further refine the user experience.
