HTC has unveiled its latest enterprise-focused virtual reality headsets, the Vive Pro 2 and  Focus 3 with a revamped 5K screen. We’ll take a look at the features of the two VR headsets which by the way, are focused on enterprise users and not the ordinary consumer.

HTC Vive Focus 3

The most prominent feature of the Vive Focus 3 is its impressive display. The VR headset uses a single 2448 x 1600 panel for each eye. The display refresh rate is 90 Hz, which is an improvement from its predecessors. The display far surpasses brands on the high-end spectrum, like the Oculus Quest 2 and the HP Reverb G2.

The overall design of the Vive Focus 3 reflects substantial improvements in various spheres that make the headset a top-notch alternative for businesses. The excellent audio output of the device also lends support to the robust design philosophy behind the conceptualization and implementation of the Vive Focus 3. HTC says it has produced an enhanced audio output that will guarantee audio privacy, limiting the amount of sound that outsiders can hear. The headset has a touch-style analog stick, two triggers, two face buttons, and one menu button on each controller. However, hand tracking is a functionality absent on the Vive Focus 3, unlike the Oculus Quest 2.

According to HTC Vive’s general manager Dan O’Brien, the Vive Focus 3 is a better product than the Oculus Quest 2 in terms of screen resolution, swappable battery, and overall ergonomics and performance. The company feels the product is a better device than the Quest 2. It also does not need a Social Media account to sign in to the device, unlike the Quest 2. O’Brien insists that the company still has a focus on consumer products, although it will continue to lean towards the enterprise segment as a sustainable business model at this time.

HTC Vive Pro 2

On its part, the Vive Pro 2 also features a revamped 5K screen and 120Hz refresh rate. It is a highly comfortable headset and will cost $749 on its own and $1,399 with the SteamVR base stations and Vive controllers. The Vive Pro 2 also has an expansive 120-degree field of view, by deploying a stacked dual-lens system.

Pre-orders for the Vive Pro 2 standalone model have kicked off and the full VR kit will be available on June 4th for $1,399. The Vive Focus 3 will be sold for $1,300 and arrives June 27th.
