Back in March, HTC showed off a new module and body trackers that allowed for a more immersive experience with VR. Then in April, there was a tease of a possible new headset for everyone to get excited for. Now, it looks like, at Vivecon, we get the answer to what the headset, or I should say, headsets that have been revealed. Introducing the VIVE Pro 2 and the VIVE Focus 3.

These are some impressive specs with what many may say is some high cost for the tech. The VIVE Focus 3 is more for the business industry, while the VIVE Pro 2 is for consumers. But when you look at what you are getting for the cost and 5K resolution, there is going to be a cost for it.
