Overview
HTC builds the Vive Focus Vision to run VR on its own or tethered to a PC, with inside-out tracking so no base stations go on the walls. This kit adds a Facial Tracker that reads the lips, jaw, cheeks and tongue for expressive avatars.
Face and eye tracking in one kit lift social VR and avatar animation well past a basic headset. PC streaming runs smoothest with a wired router link, and Windows is the listed platform.
Who it's for
Social VR users, trainers and small motion capture studios get expression tracking without a separate rig. Casual players wanting a simple games headset may find the extra trackers unnecessary.
Pros and cons
- Runs standalone or from a PC
- Eye tracking built in
- Facial Tracker captures detailed expressions
- No external base stations needed
- PC streaming needs a wired router link
- Battery life not listed
- Weight not stated
- Listed platform is Windows only
Performance notes
Visual sharpness comes from the high per-eye resolution, and DisplayPort mode avoids compression when tethered to a PC. Wireless PC play depends on the network, which is why the listing advises an Ethernet link from PC to router. Expression capture relies on the tracker camera seeing the lower face clearly.
