HTC has announced the details on its new Vive Pro 2, a headset that seems destined to improve everything about your virtual reality experience with their hardware except the price you pay for it. The new Vive Pro 2 will offer a 5K resolution, with 2448×2448 pixels per eye (4896×2448 combined). I’m not sure how 2448×2448 winds up being called 5K, especially since it’s actually 6MP. But it’s a substantial upgrade in resolution over the original Vive and the later Vive Pro.
HTC hosted its ViveCon 2021 virtual event yesterday. The key reveals at the event were of two new virtual reality headsets. It showcased the Vive Pro 2 targeting consumer PC VR, as well as the Vive Focus 3 with an AiO design for businesses. Both headsets offer a 5K resolution and a 120° FOV as standard, but the PC gaming focussed Vive Pro 2 has a faster refresh rate of 120Hz (vs 90 Hz for the Vive Focus 3).
HTC promises next level VR with the new Vive Pro 2. Providing 2.5K pixels to each eye at a fluid 120Hz, using a fast switching panel with RGB sub-pixels is claimed to deliver crystal clear and super smooth animations . A new stacked lens design has enabled an FOV boost to 120°. Moreover, HTC says its screen and optical advances minimises motion blur and any screen door effect .
If we go by Counterpoint Research numbers, Oculus captured around 53 percent of the mixed reality market in 2020, thanks in no small part to the popularity.
