At ViveCon 2021, HTC VIVE’s potentially annual flagship event this May, the company made several product reveals and announcements that they hoped would rock the VR industry. Now that ViveCon has wrapped and HTC VIVE’s next-gen devices have been unveiled, it\u2019s time to assess just how excited VR fans should be.<\/p>\n
The most exciting ViveCon 2021 reveal for general VR consumers was the announcement of the forthcoming HTC VIVE Pro 2<\/a>. Boasting a larger FOV than Oculus Quest 2, HTC’s newest gaming-geared HMD appears to be a direct challenger to Facebook’s mega-seller. With none of the social media requirements or questionable privacy practices Facebook’s detractors cite as reasons to steer clear of Quest 2, HTC VIVE Pro 2 offers a fantastic alternative – only at more than twice the price.<\/p>\n HTC VIVE general manager Dan O’Brien has made HTC’s intentions clear regarding potentially conflicting enterprise and consumer markets, noting \u201cthe enterprise and professional market is a very healthy and rapidly growing market where we can bring real value and solutions.\u201d Confirming this intention, the HTC VIVE Focus 3<\/a> has been designed with extensive business, enterprise, and industrial use in mind.<\/p>\n Pro Eye and its native eye-tracking could be seen as a disappointing move by the company. Some users are already growing tired of the extensive range of add-ons and upgrades like the latest line of motion trackers<\/a> released earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
