HTC Reveals Enterprise-Focused VIVE Focus Vision HTC has revealed a new VIVE headset for enterprise and high-end gaming markets. HTC has stated that the new headset brings “a wealth of improvements” to its VIVE Focus 3 headset, enhancing industrial training, immersive collaboration, and mixed reality applications.
Interested in learning more about HTC XR’s business benefits? Companies worldwide are beginning to turn to extended reality market leaders like HTC for innovative hardware and software that can help them boost productivity, efficiency, and creativity. However, the HTC XR business benefits extend beyond affordable implementation.
HTC Vive stands out as one of the market leaders among companies creating XR solutions specifically for the enterprise and business landscape. The headsets created by VIVE are designed to offer immersive collaborative experiences in virtual reality for specialists designing complex projects and showcasing those creations to clients.
Beyond that, Metas headsets support: Wireless, standalone capabilities Unlike other companies such as Varjo and HTC VIVE, which primarily offer tethered devices, Meta focuses on convenient, standalone functionality. Already, its experimenting with advanced tracking solutions, like EMG wrist bands introduced with the Meta Orion prototype.
Feature-wise, it is more or less as we expected it to be, with four cameras for inside-out tracking, haptic feedback, IPD adjustment , eye-tracking, HDR display. HTC released a trailer about his vision for the metaverse. HTC has released a trailer video with his vision of the metaverse.
However, there are plenty of other competitors worth considering too, such as: HTC VIVE: Powerful Headsets for Enterprises The HTC VIVE team has been focused on developing VR, AR, and mixed-reality solutions for business users for some time now. Think about the setup process first. Next, consider the user experience.
When speaking of modern headsets, we can talk about improvements in the characteristics of the screen and the optics, better tracking sensors, as well as an overall increase in the productivity of computers. Lighthouse room tracking for HTC Vive is such a solution and is available on the market today.
Eye and hand tracking technologies embedded into wearable devices, or delivered through external sensors, provide the feedback that applications need to optimize the immersive experience for each user. The Swedish company has produced a number of eye-tracking solutions, including the Tobii Pro Glasses 3.
Although, an emerging presence in the development space is hand and eyetracking. AR/VR/MR headsets are increasingly equipped with hand and eyetracking technology. Previously, commercial XR devices like the Meta Quest had experimented with hand-tracking features which improved as the device matured.
Eye and hand tracking technologies embedded into wearable devices, or delivered through external sensors, provide the feedback that applications need to optimize the immersive experience for each user. So, which companies are paving the way for the next generation of tracking? Here are just some of the vendors worth watching.
Extended reality and Metaverse firms lack standardised metrics for measuring human behaviour in virtualenvironments based on current legacy data analytics, a new report on Monday has found. What’s the Deal on Data?
Although, an emerging presence in the development space is hand and eyetracking. AR/VR/MR headsets are increasingly equipped with hand and eyetracking technology. Previously, commercial XR devices like the Meta Quest had experimented with hand-tracking features which improved as the device matured.
However, following the release of consumer equipment like the HTC Vive , Oculus Rift , Sony PSVR and the various mobile VR headsets , we now have a different situation with a much larger group of people (the general population) using virtual reality on a regular basis, for longer periods of time.
In her 2020 article, she quoted Ryan Gill, Co-Founder and CEO of Crucible , who explained how Direct-to-Avatar (D2A) business models sold goods and products directly to avatars to bypass supply chain management, namely in “social or competitive virtualenvironments like games or open worlds where consumers project themselves as an avatar.”
The Vision Pro service also allows medical learners to interact with Osso VR’s immersive learning procedures with the device’s integrated hand-tracking, eye-tracking, and voice control. Last year , HTC VIVE and the World Economic Forum discussed the emerging presence of XR and the Metaverse in the healthcare sector.
Among the most famous XR innovators on the market today, HTC VIVE offers a range of solutions for those interested in the benefits of spatial audio. Like HTC VIVE, Magic Leap also supports a vast developer community, with access to various tools capable of integrating with Unity technology for spatial sound.
Meta says that some of its questioned firms reported that workers feel a significant increase in levels of immersion while working in a virtualenvironment. The Menlo Park-based firm also found that end-users experienced more natural digital conversations during virtual meetings.
How does this coexist with other forms of computing, whether that's traditional computing or virtual reality? And previously having been at HTC Vive -- and before that actually HP -- I have an interesting perspective on kind of all three of those. I'm really excited to have eyetracking as part of the daily experience of XR.
It is clear that it is not a Quest 2, since it doesn’t feature mind-blowing features like big FOV or eye-tracking or full-fingers controllers, so it is something like a Quest S. Its 1,600 × 1,600 LCD display per-eye, together with eyetracking and 5G make me dream of great experimentations, especially in the enterprise sector.
It’s good news by the way that there is continuous IPD adjustment (and with a wider range than before) and that thanks to eyetracking sensors, the headset can tell you if you have positioned it well on your head. There is also an eye-relief dial, so you can put the lenses very close to your eyes, for added field of view.
There was presence, and immersion, and the ability to create your own virtualenvironments. At that time, virtual worlds were the only visible path to an interconnected metaverse of virtualenvironments. This is obviously the big one for virtual worlds. Creativity. Discoverability.
When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. The eyetracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.
HTC teased the next Vive headset , Google is reportedly trying to steal Ray-Ban from Meta , PSVR 2 got a major discount in the UK, Apple Vision Pro received a new virtualenvironment and the PSVR 2 Steam app appeared. Meta AI is coming to Quest headsets, and we may have gotten our first clear look at Quest 3S.
HTC has actually released that for the Vive Focus Plus … Well, according to the god John Carmack , it is something about which the company has discussed a lot and has also experimented a lot. Half Dome 3 looks impressive: it is compact, it has eye-tracking, an innovative varifocal display and a very good FOV.
The way that VR works, you can both be in the same virtualenvironment, working on the same virtual engine, and actually doing call-outs and instructing each other. The distribution needs to be standardized, so that when I push one app, it can be used in Microsoft; it can be used in HTC VIVE; it can be used with an Oculus."

This kind of seamless interface is great and it is exactly the same one that HTC already offers with the Vive Focus Plus and Viveport Streaming and that I’ve tried and appreciated. I guess Oculus will aim at something similar, because it is very handy (Image by HTC Vive). Rift line gets discontinued.
