HTC's first independent VR helmet, Vive Focus, was officially launched in China. The HTC-based new mobile virtual reality platform, which includes a mobile version of the Viveport content store, uses more than 40 applications for the first time.
Vive Focus is HTC's first standalone VR headset with all the features of VR, including location tracking from the inside out, which means it doesn't rely on smartphones or hosts. This makes it more convenient and brings a range of other advantages over ordinary smartphone docking phone headsets.
Since accepting reservations in December last year, Vive Focus will be launched this week to the first customers in China. HTC hosted an event to demonstrate live demonstrations of the headset to 100 participants.
The blue and white versions of the headset are priced at approximately $670 and $625, respectively. Like Lenovo's "Phantom Solo" stand-alone version, we want to know how attractive the price is to consumers, but the target audience and market dynamics in China are completely different. We can't apply the same as in the Western market. Assumption.
Vive Focus is based on Google's Daydream independent reference design (the design itself is based on Qualcomm reference hardware) and was announced in 2017 as one of two Daydream stand-alone headsets targeting the Western market (the other is Lenovo). HTC later abandoned the plan to launch headphones in the West, and instead focused on bringing headphones to China, leaving Google's Daydream platform behind. Instead of using Daydream and Google's WorldSense tracking capabilities, HTC called Vive Focus's software Vive Wave (through the company's mobile Viveport store), while HTC said they are using their own internal tracking code, World Scale.
HTC's goal is to consolidate China's mobile virtual reality ecosystem by making Vive Wave an open platform, laying the groundwork for mobile headsets other than Focus. Vive Focus's focus is on launching about 40 apps in the mobile Viveport store (these apps will be available on other headsets running Vive Wave).
Although Vive's focus is first outside the door, Oculus and Chinese electronics company Xiaomi have teamed up to challenge HTC's mobile virtual reality field and will soon bring Oculus Go headsets to China's Xiaomi brand. Will be named Mi VR and will run its own separate content store (not based on Vive Wave).
