HTC has announced Live Focus Visionan interesting product that sits halfway between Meta’s Quest 3 and Apple’s Vision Pro. The Taiwanese company that launched the first Android phone on the market has been working on immersive environments for a long time.
To start off, we can mention that the Vive Focus Vision is based on the Vive Focus 3 that was introduced a while back. That device, however, was intended to be used in business environments. Things are changing, as the Vive Focus is being presented as a powerful alternative for both enjoying games and running other types of virtual reality applications.

The Vive Focus Vision is a standalone headset, meaning it has the hardware to work without being connected to another device. Here, we find a Snapdragon XR2 chip, 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. In terms of display, we find two screens with a resolution per panel of 2448 x 2448 pixels and a 90 Hz refresh rate.
HTC promises to offer a c120 degree field of view and an eye-tracking system. Specifically, the glasses can track the user’s gaze 120 times per second with an accuracy of 0.5 to 1 degree within a central 20-degree field of view. They also incorporate a USB-C port with support for DisplayPort, allowing you to connect a PC to enjoy improved graphics quality.
One of the most interesting features of the Vive Focus Vision, aside from eye tracking, is the ability to hot-swap the battery. The glasses have a battery life of about two hours, but you can change the battery. To avoid interrupting what you’re doing, a backup battery kicks in, offering about 20 minutes of battery life. A generous amount of time.

Well, the air intake between models increases by 30%, which, on paper, would allow for much better temperature control in the device. Now let’s move on to a very important point: availability.
