HTC launches Vive Focus Vision targeting high-end VR market at $999

engadget.com

HTC has launched the Vive Focus Vision, a high-end VR headset priced at $999. Unlike Meta's more affordable Quest models, the Focus Vision targets VR enthusiasts and enterprise users. It features mixed reality capabilities, eye tracking, and a removable battery for extended use. However, the headset uses the older Snapdragon XR2 chip, which is less powerful than the newer processors in competing models. While it offers a higher resolution and better build quality, its performance and software issues limit its appeal, especially given its high price. The Focus Vision can stream uncompressed VR experiences with an additional $149 accessory, but its overall library of games remains smaller than Meta's offerings. Despite its strengths, the headset may not attract many consumers due to its cost and outdated technology.
