HTC expanding PC VR headset line-up with Vive Pro 2 this June
HTC has unveiled the latest addition to its PC VR headset line-up in the form of the Vive Pro 2, which arrives on 4th June with pre-orders open now.
As its name implies, HTC’s Vive Pro 2 is the direct successor to the high-end PC VR headset it released in 2018. It’ll up the ante with a 5K resolution display (2448×2448 pixels per eye), a 120-degree field of view, and a 120Hz panel. By way of contrast, the original Vive Pro featured a 2880×1600 resolution, a 110-degree field of view, and a 90Hz refresh rate.
HTC claims the Vive Pro 2’s technological upgrades mean “minimal motion blur”, while screen door effect is said to be “virtually eliminated”.
The headset – which features adjustable inter-pupillary distance (IPD), head strap, and sizing dial – supports the visually lossless Display Stream Compression standard, and includes a pair of Hi-Res Audio Certified headphones that deliver 3D spatial sound, although HTC notes third-party headphones are also supported.
