Is that this thriller VR headset Vive’s reply to the Oculus Quest 2 or extra company equipment?
We’re unsure what lies beneath this sheet, hiding in plain sight on a desk in what seems to be the Vive workplace, however one thing tells us its a VR headset. That one thing being the caption that plainly states “VR Headset – Confirmed”. That is one thriller solved, then.
However is that case closed on the entire affair? I feel not.
We all know that Vive intends to launch a brand new VR headset, and comparatively quickly by the appears to be like of its current social media teaser, however we have no official launch date but. Nor do we all know whether or not this new headset might be of nice curiosity to avid gamers or if it is destined for extra enterprising markets.
Vive at the moment gives the Cosmos and Cosmos Elite headsets for gaming, each are tethered headsets out of the field and require a gaming PC to function. A modular building does allow some bonuses, should you’re prepared to shell out the money, resembling wi-fi connectivity and inside-out monitoring.
That is the gaming aspect of issues. On the business aspect of issues Vive has a pair extra choices: The Vive Professional, a remodeling of the unique Vive headset, is obtainable for business {and professional} makes use of, and now consists of eye-tracking. Then there’s the Vive Focus, a standalone VR headset with every part it is advisable to get up-and-running included within the headset itself.
So the place may Vive place a brand new VR headset?
We have sadly not received a lot to go on in that regard. A picture posted to Twitter alludes to some exterior digicam performance, and probably inside-out monitoring akin to the Oculus Quest 2, however it’s not not like any of Vive’s present headsets to characteristic faceplate cameras.
The Oculus Quest 2 does appear the headset different main VR gamers might be gunning for, nonetheless. Fb has mentioned that gross sales of the Quest 2 have already surpassed expectations, and it is swiftly risen to the highest of the Steam {Hardware} Survey as the preferred VR headset going. The Quest 2 is an enormous success, however it has its flaws. Specifically, a obligatory Fb login (and by extension a re-emerging of the Fb possession conundrum), which has raised some privateness and login considerations.
So there’s room for an additional within the standalone VR headset market, that is for certain. It might be particularly welcome to PC avid gamers if Vive might mimic the Oculus Hyperlink performance, which permits the Quest headsets to run off a gaming PC for a tethered headset expertise.
Now that the equipment are out of the way in which, let’s get all the way down to enterprise. pic.twitter.com/OxIVCVQYk5April 9, 2021
Well-liked hypothesis has Vive as soon as once more concentrating on the enterprise {and professional} market with its unannounced equipment, nonetheless. Using the phrase ‘let’s get all the way down to enterprise’ has satisfied a superb few that this headset is destined for corpo use as a substitute of gaming in digital actuality, and I’ve to say that it actually appears the seemingly use.
If that is the case, there’s not a lot for us PC avid gamers to get enthusiastic about right here. However it’s removed from a agency idea but.
