In the early days of HTC’s warm-up poster, the slogan was “Go small or go home”, translated as “either small or go home”, or implying that the new VR headset will have a small shape and will be the successor of Vive Flow, And according to the existing breaking news, the independent VR device that HTC is developing may adopt a unique modular design.

Earlier, XR hardware analyst Brad Lynch released a new video that leaked some of the product's appearance and parameters. According to reports, the design of the device is similar to HTC Vive Flow, with four black and white tracking cameras and one RGB pass-through camera, will use a 1920 x 1920 independent LCD screen with a refresh rate of up to 120hz, and use Pancake lenses to reduce the Overall size, it's not possible to confirm exactly which chipset will be used, but sources say the device will have a "much faster" chip inside than the XR2 Gen 1.

And, according to Lynch, the back of the device's headset stand, as well as the battery, are removable. In addition, it can also be connected to devices such as mobile phones or computers through data cables, which is similar to split AR glasses.

However, compared to other products, HTC’s VR all-in-one machine ecology is basically out of touch with games. Its two new products, Vive Focus 3, focus on the commercial market, and Vive Flow focuses on the lightweight 3DoF design. This time, as the successor of Vive, where will it come from? On the one hand, we need to wait and see to upgrade. (Source: Zhongguancun Online)
