The HTC Vive Focus is a standalone virtual reality headset, which means you don’t need to plug it into a PC or game console and it doesn’t depend on a phone to work. Everything is built into the headset itself.
First unveiled in November, the Vive Focus launched in China in December.
Now HTC has announced (http://blog.vive.com/us/2018/03/21/vive-gdc-2018-vive-focus-coming-international-markets-later-year-vda-winners-announced/) that its VR headset will be commercially available in global markets “later this year,” and that developers “in most countries” can sign up for early access (http://developer.vive.com/us/vive-focus-for-developer/) starting now.
The headset features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, a 2880 x 1600 pixel AMOLED display with a 110-degree field of view and built-in proximity and 9-axis sensors for position tracking with 6 degrees of freedom.
While HTC had initially planned to launch a standalone VR headset that utilized Google’s Daydream virtual reality platform, the company switched gears when it introduced the Vive Focus as a device that will use the company’s own Vive Wave (http://developer.vive.com/cn/wave-en/) platform.
Users will be able to download apps and games from the Viveport store.
