Vive Focus 3 is the best standalone VR theme and no, you don’t have to buy it

According to VR technology, the Focus 3 has everything you could want on a modern theme. But there are some simple, minimal changes that I also appreciate, such as the support of 150mm large mirrors. It usually takes a lot of effort to squeeze the headboard on my frames, and they are removed every time I get out of VR. But I have never done anything on Focus 3, because of its exterior. There’s also a flexible IPD dialing to help you see how its glasses affect; Quest 2 just gives you a few options to change the IPD. Proper positioning around the front and back also helps you to forget that you are also wearing a VR headset.

Even the Focus 3 controllers are better than anything we’ve seen from the HTC Vive before. They look similar to the Oculus, with a rounded ring, face buttons, and the right and starting buttons. Obviously, it’s a lighter year than the major controllers that the original HTC Vive came up with. However, Oculus has its limitations in terms of overall ergonomics. Quest 2 game pads are combined to better fit your hands, especially in racing games. Capturing the Focus 3 controllers, meanwhile, can be a challenge in long VR sessions.

Luckily, though, the headband is great for long-term wear, and it offers the most real deep-seated feel I’ve ever seen. I toured the Louvre See Lisa After the Glass, which allows me to start inches from a few of V Vinci’s top photos. If I try to do this in real life, I’m sure the other guards will chase me away immediately. But in VR, I can admire every detail. I was also amazed at how it all looks in Focus 3. It was more detailed than I had ever seen with the Quest 2 I had ever seen, and the large screen made me feel like I was walking through the decorated Louvre halls, instead of just looking through two VR binoculars.

Likewise, I am interested in crossing wetlands and tropical beaches in the context of Nature Treks VR. The sharp focus of the Focus 3 also illuminated as I looked at images and wildlife nearby, but the details were limited by its electronic devices. The 360-degree YouTube videos also look interesting when I released them in Firefox VR, but the experience can be hit or missed depending on the source type. And even the headboard has no speakers near fields like Vavu Index and HP Reverb G2 .

I was surprised that Focus 3 did not include any type of multimedia VR video streaming software, but this confirms a bigger problem: Focus 3 has a smaller library than Quest. While Oculus insisted on playing the same sports and popular sports, such as Immortal Father and Beating Saber, HTC VivePort’s retail store feels like a lack of blood. There are a few shared responsibilities across all platforms, e.g. The Last Labyrinth and Tokyo Chronos, but it is clear that it is not the best HTC Vive.

For now, even setting up new experiences is a bit of a hassle on Focus 3, as you have to remove the header to buy apps and games from your browser. In the meantime, Quest and Quest 2 allow you to purchase items from a headset with a mobile app. But I don’t think it’s a big problem for the HTC Vive, as the Focus 3 doesn’t make any customers at all. Instead, IT departments can download software that their employees need. (There will also be a Vive Business App Store at the end, though it is not known if it will give you a chance to buy better.)

That is one reason why we are not writing this comment. This $ 1,300 headline does not mean you have to be a buyer. To be honest, I haven’t even tried other popular apps, such as the Vive Sync support tool and the Engage events program. Previous HTC Vive phones have also been identified as an easy way to train employees using apps like Virti. And even though the app looks good in Focus 3, I can’t tell if it’s teaching well or not.

There are some things I just couldn’t figure out. Focus 3 offers Vive Business Streaming, which allows you to connect headphones to VR PCs via USB 3.2 cable or Wi-Fi. But it seems like an option, because none of the USB cables I use are known for this app (and some just make the mistake of saying it wasn’t USB 3.0 capable, even me he knew was). You can also move PC VR over Wi-Fi, but it only works if your computer is connected directly to your router over Ethernet, and if you have a strong wireless connection with a headset. This is not possible in my basement. I hope the HTC Vive will meet the requirements, especially since the Oculus Link on Quest is in place it is very difficult when it comes to ropes.

No matter how you cut it, Quest 2 is still a VR headset that most consumers should buy. But the Focus 3 is ideal for businesses looking for something solid and powerful. To them, a $ 1,300 device it makes more sense than the tens of thousands on many teaching tools.
