Following the release of what many consider a teaser video for a new device, HTC has been the subject of rumors suggesting that the company is gearing up to unveil the next VR/mixed reality headset in its successful Vive series.
The video below does not itself confirm that a new headset is in the works, let alone any specific information about a new device. It contains only a teaser with the text: “Soon, our innovation will offer you a new kind of power. Prepare to pioneer the next reality.”, samen met foto’s van de huidige HTC headsets maar wat lijkt te eindigen met de contouren van een nieuwe VR bril!
It is likely that HTC will come up with the new headset to compete with Apple and Meta's recent headsets: The Vision Pro and the Quest 3.
Brad Lynch, manager of Extended Reality (XR), claimed to have seen leaked material about an upcoming HTC headset, stating that the design is similar to that of the Vive Focus 3 that the company released in 2021.
Lynch heeft gelekte informatie dat het nieuwe apparaat dezelfde schermen en optica zou hebben als de Vive Focus 3, hoewel HTC deze informatie niet heeft bevestigd of becommentarieerd. Maar volgens Lynch zal het de Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 technologie bevatten, die momenteel te vinden is in HTC’s in 2023 uitgebrachte Vive XR Elite headset.
Volgens de vermeende informatie zou het nieuwe apparaat twee camera’s hebben met dieptesensoren, gentegreerde eyetracking en vier gigabyte meer RAM dan de XR2 CPU van de Vive Focus 3.
If these specifications turn out to be true, it is suggested that the next HTC headset, like the Vive Focus 3, will be more suitable for professional and business use than for personal use.
If and when HTC confirms details of a new headset, we will come out with an update.
