The HTC Vive Focus Vision is Vive’s latest headset and is a step up from the HTC VIVE Focus 3 which was released in 2021. This hybrid standalone headset is geared for both consumer and enterprise use and features immersive spatial computing capabilities.
With that said, this review will cover the key features and specifications of the HTC Vive Focus Vision.
| Lens Type | Fresnel |
| Resolution | 2448 x 2448 |
| Refresh Rate | 90 Hz |
| Processor | Snapdragon XR2 |
| Storage | 128 GB (Up to 2 TB of Expandable Storage) |
| Ram | 12 GB |
With 5K resolution, a wide FOV (field of view) of 120 degrees, and a 90 Hz refresh rate, the Vive Focus Vision provides an immersive and seamless viewing experience. However, it uses Fresnel lenses which can result in a slightly more distorted image quality than headsets, like the Quest 3, which use pancake lenses. Additionally, the headset offers a firm ergonomic design, cooling capabilities, and 3d audio.
The Focus Vision comes equipped with advanced eye, face, and hand tracking capabilities plus the option to connect with Vive Ultimate Trackers for greater and full body tracking capabilities. Additionally, the headset comes with auto-IPD adjustment which adjusts the lenses to the user’s eyes for a clearer viewing experience. With depth sensors and two high-resolution cameras, it also offers stereo color passthrough—allowing the user to see a color-accurate representation of the real world around them. All of these features translate to greater MR (mixed reality) and XR (extended reality) capabilities.
Being a hybrid standalone PC-VR headset, the Vive Focus Vision can be used on its own or connected to a PC. With 12 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of extended storage, it can seamlessly multi-task and store a large amount of data. Users can also connect the headset to a PC via Wi-Fi, USB-C, or DisplayPort to access PC-only apps.
The Vive Focus Vision features a hot-swappable battery which allows the user to remove the existing battery and replace it with a fresh one. To ensure that there is no interruption in usage, the device has a mini reserve battery with 20 minutes of extended standby. The headset comes with open drivers and SDKs (software development kits) for greater customization. Also, enterprise users can take advantage of Vive’s XR ecosystem for enterprises along with LBE (Location Based Entertainment) licenses.
Because the HTC Vive Focus Vision aims to be a consumer and enterprise product, it can do it all. It has advanced tracking capabilities for VR and XR use cases, an ergonomic design built to accommodate any user—including those with glasses, and a wide range of functionality from PC-VR use to SDKs and access to enterprise-level apps. With that said, it is reasonably priced at around €1250.
