Whats the verdict on this for $1099 https://www.vive.com/us/product/vive-xr-elite/specs/

This is very interesting, the specs are not awe inspiring as in resolution refresh rate but form factor looks useful. Power by your phone meaning the headset is lightweight. Controllers? Powered by PC? Tracking?

Heads up for anybody interested in buying from HTC. I ordered a Vive Pro 2 when they first released, but after seeing all the terrible reviews regarding glare, narrow fov, etc, etc....I decided to send back unopened in brand new condition. HTC received my return on 7/14/2021 and when I...

I love my Vive vr, but absolutely hate the fresnel lenses as the ridges pick up any glow and create a lense flare effect. Has anyone tried any optional lenses? does the index have the same fresnel lenses? are the index's lenses compatible with the vive (I use glasses and have prescription...

So I've had a 2017 era Rift kit sitting unopened in the box for over a year now. This is the version immediately previous to the Rift S and Quest releases. What games or apps are must haves or must experience in your opinion? Keep in kind that I can't do S or Quest exclusive titles - they...

All the first gen (+) HMD's claim 110 degrees FOV. In the video bellow a Oculus Rift is compared to a Samsung Odyssey+ at the 5:00 mark. The difference is quite dramatic I would say being 25%+ larger for the Samsung Odyssey. The Vive Pro and the Odyssey use the same Samsung displays (with the...

According to FCC filings, the upcoming HTC Vive Cosmos will not be a wireless headset. The 2.402-2.48 GHz frequencies used by the Cosmos are the same as what the Vive and Vive Pro devices use to connect wireless controllers to the headsets. A HTC representative told UploadVR that on "day one"...

HTC sales are still weak as its end of year financial statement showed a 61.78% decline in consolidated sales when compared to last year. This is the seventh consecutive year of decline that the company has experienced. HTC recently launched a new phone in December, but sales were still down...

On the surface, Steam's latest hardware survey doesn't look particularly flattering for the VR market, but UploadVR points out that 2018 was a good year for the Steam VR gaming industry. According to the Steam statistics they've been logging, PC VR usage almost doubled in 2018, and 0.8% of Steam...

HTC seems to not be talking or updating $&#@ after acknowledging there are issues with some ryzen systems and Vive wireless. Having worked in development many years at big companies I get that, but it is still frustrating. Maybe my recent upgrade and experience can be helpful to others. I was...

I'm getting more and more interested in a VR headset. As most of my games come through Steam, the Vive is at the top of my list - I know it may not have the most impressive specifications of the bunch, but support is a big part of a product like this. I use a 1080ti, a 7700k, and 16gb of...

Pros: Very simple install, very simple software setup. Apart from initial hiccup (having to reinstall SteamVR), it just...worked. Easy to swap out cables. Very comfortable to wear, once all installed. Cons: Because of how large the headset mod is, if you wear over-the-ear headphones and not...

HTC has graciously extended their offer of granting developers 100% revenue sharing from the Viveport subscription until the end of the year. Normally HTC would take 30% of the subscription revenue and the developers would get 70%. Viveport now boasts a library of over 500 titles and 5x the...

The HTC Vive team has taken offense with an article by Digital Trends that showed VR is dying by linking third party Amazon sales numbers. The Vive team explains their lower Amazon sales numbers are due to the headset being currently sold out on Amazon's website for weeks at a time. This is...

HTC Vive - $450 shipped - SOLD! I messed around in a few games for a few hours. I took it to two family Christmas parties where it saw two hours of use each time. It's basically new. I don't need VR for the work I do and selling the GPU I used to drive it makes keeping it entirely moot. --- I...

A trip to Valve Software's about page will inform you that Valve makes games, Steam, and hardware. A more fitting headline would state "At Valve we make nearly infinite amounts of cash," but that's a different story. One interesting thing however is if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the...

First time posting in Worklogs so be gentle. This will be my second custom case in 15 years. Background: I'm really getting into playing VR on the HTC Vive. I just got WidmoVR prescription lenses so I could actually see while playing as glasses were difficult. My VR setup is in my living room...

The latest rage is voiding your HTC VIVE and PRO's warranty by ripping the fresnel lenses out and replacing those with the clear lenses from the Samsung Gear VR headset that you would use with your smartphone. The upside is that you get rid of some of the banding associated with fresnel lenses...

UploadVR is reporting that HTC has just released its software development kit for the front facing cameras on the new Vive Pro, turning it into an augmented reality developer kit. This means that the Vive Pro is now competing with Magic Leap directly, except without the red-tape, NDAs, and...

I caved and backed a crowdfunded VR accessory, Mamut Touch Grips, after watching a review of the prototypes. Attaching them elongates the Oculus Touch controllers, which will hopefully make them fit my hands a even better. But I'm more excited about their rifle stock. The rifle stock parts are...

Last month we wrote that Skyrim VR was available for pre-order, and release day is finally upon us. In addition to the $60 you will need to hand over for the game, Bethesda has released the PC Requirements. Fairly hefty requirements for a 7 year old game, hopefully there is enough improvements...

Seems that Amazon Warehouse Deals might be locally generated so YMMV. If you can see it, they have the HTC Vive for $439 and an additional 20% off coupon. This makes it $350. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00VF5NT4I If you can or can't see the deal take a few seconds to comment...

This guy's mod on a VIVE controller weights the controller dynamically to simpulate how VR weapons would feel in your hand and also simulates recoil as well. While I would love to give this a try, you would probably want a very large roomscale environment to start playing about with this...
