The most prominent feature of the Vive Focus 3 is its impressive display. The VR headset uses a single 2448 x 1600 panel for each eye. The display refresh rate is 90 Hz, which is an improvement from its predecessors. The display far surpasses brands on the high-end spectrum, like the Oculus Quest 2 and the HP Reverb G2.
The overall design of the Vive Focus 3
reflects substantial improvements in various spheres that make the headset a
top-notch alternative for businesses. The excellent audio output of the device
also lends support to the robust design philosophy behind the conceptualization
and implementation of the Vive Focus 3. HTC says it has produced an enhanced
audio output that will guarantee audio privacy, limiting the amount of sound
that outsiders can hear. The headset has a touch-style analog stick, two
triggers, two face buttons, and one menu button on each controller. However,
hand tracking is a functionality absent on the Vive Focus 3, unlike the Oculus
Quest 2.
According to HTC Vive’s general manager
Dan O’Brien, the Vive Focus 3 is a better product than the Oculus Quest 2 in
terms of screen resolution, swappable battery, and overall ergonomics and
performance. The company feels the product is a better device than the Quest 2.
It also does not need a Social Media account to sign in to the device, unlike
the Quest 2. O’Brien insists that the company still has a focus on consumer
products, although it will continue to lean towards the enterprise segment as a
sustainable business model at this time.
