A Powerhouse for PCVR Gaming
SteamVR Support with DisplayPort
The HTC Vive's new VR headset for PC supports SteamVR over DisplayPort at a smooth 120Hz. The Vive Focus Vision Headset features ensure high-quality visuals without degradation, allowing gamers to experience content exactly as intended. The high resolution of 2,448 x 2,448 per eye sets it apart from competitors like the Valve Index, which has a lower resolution of 1,440 x 1,600 per eye.
Eye-Tracking and High-Resolution Lenses
One of the standout features of the HTC Vive's new VR headset for PC is eye-tracking. This technology adjusts the interpupillary distance (IPD) automatically, making it convenient for multiple users. The 120-degree field of view and 16-megapixel front-facing cameras enhance the mixed-reality experience, adding to its appeal.
Mixed Reality and Standalone Capabilities

The HTC Vive's new VR headset for PC offers augmented reality features with its stereoscopic 3D pass-through. This is thanks to the dual 16-megapixel cameras that support a truly immersive mixed-reality experience.

Running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chip and 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, the headset can function as a robust standalone device. It also offers 128GB of expandable storage, allowing up to 2TB with a microSD card. The controllers, equipped with Hall Effect sensors, promise responsive input during intense gaming sessions.
