Taiwan-based smartphone brand HTC launched its latest VR headset – the Vive XR Elite. The VIVE XR Elite brought several upgrades to AR and VR. The two elements below most caught my attention. Lightweight: Detachable Battery for enhanced portability, viewers can wear the device either like eyeglasses or in a traditional VR headset fit. This great upgrade will increase my time of spending in the VR world. I was feeling a heavy stone on my face while I used the previous version VR headset, most of the time I had to empty one hand just for holding my VR headset in case it was not falling. The other news I feel excited about is the more friendly price. It is below its competitor, Meta Quest Pro. This device’s release and price point are a clear hit to Meta. However, time will tell if the feature and price point put HTC to snatch the crown in the VR world.
