But after a few weeks with the headset, the relationship got a little complicated.
But this is where the story of the Vive Focus Vision starts to get a little murky.
When you see a standalone headset for $999, you expect the standalone bit to shine.
But there are some problems here that stop it from being one of thebest VR headsetsyou can buy.
Seeing all the crispy details in my peripheral view really adds to that immersion.
And the Vive Focus Vision is no exception.
Starting with the build quality the aesthetic is much more utilitarian in a way that it isnt particularly stylized.
Its the byproduct of all the above coming together that makes it work.
On top of that, connectivity is simpler than you think with the additional streaming kit.
MaybeAndroid XRwill change this in the future.
But I can only go off what I have right now.
Outdated chipset
Why this doesnt have the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 packed into it is beyond me.
something sticks in the claw of this headset when you really throw something a little more intense at it.
So why am I seeing fresnel lenses on a headset of this price?
Out of the choices made for the Vive Focus Vision, this seems like the most baffling one.
HTC Vive Focus Vision: Verdict
And thats the story of the HTC Vive Focus Vision.
And probably most criminal fresnel lenses on a $1,000 headset is just unacceptable.
By that point, this becomes hard to recommend to anyone outside of the PCVR elite.
