HTC might be manufacturing very few smartphones these days, but the Taiwanese company is still going strong in the VR department. It will hold Vivecon on May 11-12 and at the event we expect to see two new VR headsets.
One will be a new standalone device called
Vive Focus 3 Business Edition, while the other is likely to be the Vive Pro 2 -
a high-end PC headset. The event, taking place virtually, has been teased with
some hardware photos on social media. One image revealed a black device with
outward-facing tracking cameras, under which HTC wrote “Ready to work in
virtual reality?”. There might not be details about the device, but it clearly
will be an enterprise device.
According to sources, the Focus 3 Business
Edition has been listed in company documents with a price tag of € 1,474/US$ 1,771.
The Pro 2 will definitely be cheaper - just € 842/US$ 1,012. Sadly, there are no
specifications about any of the devices, but we’ll hear more at Vivecon in just
a week’s time.
