The VIVE XR Elite is an extended reality (XR) headset developed by the technology firm, HTC. It integrates both virtual and mixed reality functionalities.[1][2]
Overview
The VIVE XR Elite was first introduced by HTC Corporation at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2023.[3] The product was subsequently released in late February of the same year.[4]
The VIVE XR Elite is comparable to other virtual reality headsets, including the Meta Quest Pro and the Apple Vision Pro AR/VR device.[5]
Technology
The VIVE XR Elite, a standalone virtual reality headset, can be used independently without the need for external hardware or a separate PC.[3] It also allows for various connectivity methods, with options to connect to a gaming PC through USB-C or Wi-Fi, or to mirror the display of a compatible Android smartphone.[1][2][6]
The VIVE XR Elite includes a full-color RGB passthrough camera and four wide FOV cameras.[2] Its display provides a 4K resolution, with 2K display per eye and a 90Hz refresh rate.[1] The device utilizes a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR 2 chipset, and has 12GB of RAM and 128GB of ROM.[1][6]
Its battery strap is removable and can be substituted with extended arms that have rounded nubs, a configuration known as glasses mode.[7][8] The headset includes a lens diopter adjustment feature for near-sighted users and an adjustable slider for setting interpupillary distance (IPD), with a range of 54-73 mm.[6][9]
Its total weight is 625 grams, and without the battery, the weight reduces to 260 grams.[1][6]
Accessories and Apps
The launch of the VIVE XR Elite headset coincided with the availability of 100 virtual reality and mixed reality applications on HTC's VIVEPORT platform. Among these applications are titles such as Hubris, Yuki, Maestro, Les Mills Body Combat, FigminXR, Unplugged, and Finger Gun.[10][2]
In March 2023, HTC unveiled the VIVE MR Gasket, an alternate forehead pad for the VIVE XR Elite headset. This supplementary component is tailored to increase comfort for users during extended periods of use.[2]
HTC also indicated a potential release of a face and eye tracking accessory towards the end of 2023, which will enhance the immersive user experience and augment the overall functionality of the headset.[10][11]
