He’s ready to answer with his HTC super powers. And I still remember that you have done boxing, so I agree with you in any case… HTC Vive Pro first impressions. HTC Vive 1.0 vs HTC Vive Pro. The moment when I tried the Vive Pro has not been one of this wow moments. The wonderful Vive Pro.

When in 2015 I had my first Samsung Gear VR, I was amazed: finally, I could enjoy high-quality tether-less virtual reality. Today, thanks to the fellow VR community member Eloi Gerard , I’ve found an article on lowyat.net that confirms that Samsung is not that enthusiast about Gear VR and that has probably different future plans.
Furthermore, HTC already has a setup that works without SteamVR stations , and it is more expensive than this one, but HTC has more experience with trackers.

In the case of VR, we all remember the competition between HTC and Oculus in 2016, with HTC clearly winning the market until Oculus used Facebook’s money to slash the price of the Rift around 2017. To these, you have to add the companies that are already competing, like for instance HTC or HP. No one can compete now.
But in China, they are very famous, and now they are also organizing a big event about XR called FBEC with hosts from all the major VR companies (HTC, Unity, Alibaba, Huawei, etc…). For example, we invited senior executives from HUAWEI, JBD, HTC, Alibaba, iQIYI, Qualcomm, Microsoft, and so on.
In an interview with a magazine (quoted by Upload VR), he said the following sentences: One of the things [Steam Deck] represents is the battery-capable, high-performance horsepower that eventually you could use in VR applications as well. HTC released a trailer about his vision for the metaverse. The last article tells you about his.

If this partnership is exclusive, Meta has just got a huge edge over its competitors like Samsung or Google. But a new report in Korean magazine “Daily Korea” states that Samsung may not be in a hurry to release its headset anymore, because Meta canceled its Quest Pro 2 plans with LG, and Apple is postponing its Vision Pro 2.
This era ended with the launch of the first consumer-oriented PC VR headsets: the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift CV1. Google joined forces with Samsung (and Qualcomm) to release a new headset soon. Google and Samsung will release an XR headset. Samsung will probably copy Apple (as usual) and do the same.
OMG, it’s almost 3 years that I write these roundups… the first week peek was exclusive for my blog subscribers and it featured as best news the release of Google Blocks and in the other news something about Samsung Gear VR… how much time has passed since then! HTC announces Vive Pro Secure. It would be very intriguing….
But now that the landlady has sold the house where it all started, CLR has turned to VR, or specifically, AltspaceVR, a social VR platform which established itself on early Samsung, Oculus, and HTC headsets back in 2015, and now supports all major VR hardware including Daydream.
VR magazines have published this week many pieces of advice for new Quest 2 owners. But if Apple won’t abandon the project as Google did with Tango, and if companies like Samsung will start copying Apple (as it seems) in some years we could all have better phone-based augmented reality and 3D scanning may become a commodity.
“Apple has invented the glasses of the future” is probably what journals and magazines will say the day of launch, and all the various HoloLens , Magic Leap , etc… will be forgotten by mainstream media. I also see Oculus finally announcing a wireless accessory for the Rift S.
Last year we had nReal showing us that AR can be trendy, and HTC making us dream with the Vive Cosmos. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised. Samsung AR glasses.

Thanks to Upload, this job is easier: the online magazine has compiled a list of suitable USB cables and extension cables so that to guarantee an optimal image quality on your Quest. Oculus Link has just been released, and everyone is looking for the best cable to transform his Oculus Quest into an Oculus Rift.
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. Almost no magazine reported this news, that in my opinion was one of the most powerful of the whole OC6. Why not wireless? Well, ZERO.
