The company had previously announced two new products, which was the Vive Flow and the Vive Wrist Tracker. Both of these were announced back in October 2021 and January 2021 respectively. Now, the brand’s official Twitter handle share a new teaser that showcases the new VR headset that has a compact form factor. Looking at the tweet, the company shared the caption “Go small or go home,” with a silhouette of the upcoming VR headset.
Furthermore, HTC also confirmed in the replies section that “We’re working on something big… we mean small. It’s a new headset!” Interestingly, the company also sent a press release to TechRadar, which was somewhat resembled the announcement of the HTC Vive Flow, which was its “first evolution” from its Proton project. In other words, the upcoming VR headset might be the “second” evolution or next gen iteration of this same project.
As of right now, finer details regarding this product or even its naming is still unknown. For those unaware, the Vive Flow was a pair of VR glasses that was launched with an innovative form factor, but with an expensive price tag of 499 US Dollars. Despite its unique design, the company’s Vive Flow was criticized for its performance and limited immersion. So, we can expect the newer model to bring improvements in this formula.
