HTC's Vive Pro offers resolution bump, wireless adapter, and better microphones

Every bit one of the showtime major VR headsets to hit shelves, the hardware inside the HTC Vive isn't its most compelling feature anymore. The ecosystem HTC has built through partnerships with Steam and its own Viveport app store, combined with being able to avowal the nigh accurate roomscale tracking organization, has kept the Vive at the top of the heap so far. But with a barrage of Windows Mixed Reality headsets offering college resolution for cheaper, HTC needed to step up its hardware game.

That new headset is called the Vive Pro, and instead of replacing the original Vive it will be as a "prosumer" option for people who desire the best possible experience.

These are the large, important changes you should care near:

• Resolution: The Vive Pro packs a 2880 ten 1600 resolution display, offering 615ppi to eliminate Screen Door Effect.
• Dual cameras: The front of this headset now has a pair of cameras for developers to play in augmented reality as well as virtual reality.
• Audio: Dual microphones on the headset help with noise cancellation for online play, but the headset is also packing a lighter, sleeker version of HTC's Palatial Audio Strap, so headphones are a stock option at present.
• Trackable Space: The HTC Vive sensors and software tin can now rail a 10ft 10 10ft cube.

All combined, these improvements make the Vive Pro an impressive competitor in the current VR space. HTC'south boast of improved ergonomics with the tweaked headset design sound promising given how much nicer the headset already felt with the Palatial Audio Strap onboard.

HTC also announced a slim WiGig adapter for the Vive. It'due south a dissever accessory to enable fully wireless VR, with interference-complimentary 60GHz communication.

Note: We at present have pricing details for the Vive Pro. Await to pay near $800 for the headset lonely. Yous can pre-society now, with an expected release date of April 5, 2022. As for full kits, including new lighthouses and motility controllers, we're nonetheless waiting.

Dying Light 2 review: Going quietly into the night

Dying Light two is an admirable effort from Techland, following up the original game 7 years subsequently. High-stakes nighttime play elevates what might have otherwise been a fairly forgettable open-world zombie movie, which will likely find itself a fond place among fans of games with co-op sandbox mayhem.
