Yet another pair of remarkable devices has appeared on the VR headsets horizon. HTC has been amongst the tech companies making headlines in the past few months. This had to do primarily with the teasers and assumptions revolving around the new HTC VR headsets, anticipated to be officially announced during the VIVECON 2021 on May 11th and 12th. During the VIVECON 2021 HTC has finally announced the two new headsets planned to be launched this year — the VIVE Focus 3 and VIVE Pro 2.
HTC VIVE FOCUS 3
HTC VIVE Focus 3, communicated as the “new era of business VR” is promised to be shipped on June 27th. The new enterprise aimed device will come with a 5K resolution and is expected to deliver the sharpest viewing experience, smooth visual achieved through the 90Hz refresh rate, up to 120° field of view, as well as the 2,448 x 2,448 per eye resolution, ensuring enhanced visual fidelity. Operated on Snapdragon XR2, the VR headset will have the dual-driver speakers enabling for a 3D immersive spatial sound and quad on-board camera tracking.
