absent from an HDMI connection and instead features a DisplayPort as the only
video connection option.
Specifications for the new HTC Vive Pro headset,
sensors and controllers are still few and far between at the current time, but
as more hardware makes its way to developers, we can expect a trickle of
photographs and specifications to be made available before the hardware is made
available to consumers hopefully later this year.
It has also been revealed today that Google and LG
are currently developing their own high-resolution virtual reality display
which will provide a staggering 1443 PPI which is a lot more than the 615 PPI
of the new VR headset from HTC and especially the first generation which offers
a 448 PPI. As always when more information becomes available on any new virtual
reality hardware, we will keep you up-to-date as always.
