HTC has revealed more details about the design of
the new Cosmos virtual reality headset designed for the PC and equipped with
inside-out tracking technology. The HTC Cosmos is expected to launch later this
year sometime during Q3 2019, although no details on pricing have been
announced as yet.
The new details were made available via the official
Vive Facebook page and more details and specifications are expected to be
released this week revealing the internal workings of the Cosmos and the
performance we can expect to enjoy. From the new design images released this
week it seems that the virtual reality headset is equipped with six camera
sensors instead of the previously shown four.
The new design also has a removable faceplate and
the up and downward facing sensors are housed in the removable faceplate,
indicating that the company may be considering the possibility of selling
swappable faceplate modules at a later date. Although this has not yet been
confirmed by HTC.
Earlier this month HTC confirmed that development
kits have started shipping out to game studios enabling them to get a first
hands-on preview of the new design, sensors and performance. As soon as more
information regard specifications are announced later this week we will keep
you up to speed as always.
