VIVE Focus Vision for corporate training
The sharpest panel here, with enterprise terms attached to it.
VIVE Focus Vision lists the highest resolution in this comparison at 2,448 x 2,448 pixels per eye, with a field of view up to 120 degrees, 90 Hz standalone and 120 Hz over a DisplayPort connection. Interpupillary distance adjusts automatically between 57 and 72 mm — the only motorised adjustment among these models, and a real advantage when a headset passes between people all day. Tracking uses four cameras across areas up to 10 by 10 metres, with 120 Hz eye tracking on board. HTC publishes no weight anywhere, so the ≈785 g shown here is a hands-on measurement, marked as such.
HTC still sells first-party fleet tooling: VIVE Business+ handles remote monitoring and settings across devices, alongside support for Intune, VMware and third-party platforms. The Business Edition bundles two years of VIVE Business Warranty & Services, and commercial use requires activating that warranty within 90 days — a licensing detail worth catching before deployment rather than after. Face and rear cushions are magnetic and swappable, and the wipeable surface is designed for shared use. It is available through HTC's European business store, Poland included.
Choose VIVE Focus Vision when visual fidelity and large tracked areas matter — walkthroughs of real-scale spaces, detailed inspection work — and when you want warranty and management under a commercial agreement rather than consumer terms. The automatic interpupillary adjustment quietly removes one of the most-skipped setup steps in shared training.

Performance
Our own five-point assessment, based on the processor generation and memory and on how our own courses actually run on the device — not a benchmark score. There is no public benchmark that compares Snapdragon XR2 with Apple silicon, so a number here would be invented. We re-grade the scale as new hardware arrives, which means older models move down over time.
- ManufacturerWho makes it. Decides where warranty, support and fleet tooling come from.
- HTC VIVE
- ReleasedWhen this exact version reached buyers. Older hardware drops off vendor support sooner.
- 2024
- TypeStandalone runs on its own; “+ PC VR” can also be driven by a computer for heavier scenes.
- Standalone + PC VR
- Runs our VR coursesWhether our training courses run on it today. They are built for Android-based standalone headsets — a PC-VR-only device or Apple's visionOS cannot run them.
- Yes
- ProcessorThe processor and memory inside. This is what the performance grade above is derived from.
- Snapdragon XR2 · 12 GB RAM
- StorageOn-board space for downloaded courses. More matters for an offline library in several languages.
- 128 GB
- Battery lifeRoughly how long it runs off the charger. Decides the training rhythm and how many charging stations you need.
- Battery life: not published by the manufacturer
- Resolution per eyePixels delivered to each eye. Higher means small text and labels stay readable.
- 2448x2448
- Refresh rateImages per second. Higher feels smoother and helps people prone to motion discomfort.
- 90 / 120 Hz
- Field of viewHow wide the picture feels, in degrees. Higher is more like normal vision; lower feels like looking through a tube.
- 120°
- WeightHeadset only, without straps or battery. Lower matters most in sessions over ten minutes.
- ≈785 g*UploadVR hands-on
- DisplayPanel and optics. Pancake optics are sharper edge-to-edge than older Fresnel lenses; micro-OLED gives deeper blacks.

- TrackingHow the headset knows where it is. “Inside-out 6DoF” means no external sensors to mount.
- inside-out 6DoF
- Hand trackingUsing bare hands instead of controllers. The prerequisite for controller-free scenarios — less kit to hand out, lose or clean.
- Yes
- Eye trackingThe headset knows where the trainee is looking. Enables sharper rendering where they look, and attention analytics.
- Yes
- Controllers includedWhether motion controllers come in the box, or are bought separately — or the device is hands-only.
- Yes
- Controller tracking6DoF controllers track position and rotation, so a hand reaches in space; 3DoF only point. “None” means hands only.

- IPD adjustmentMatching lens spacing to the eyes. Motorised is fastest when one headset passes between people.

- Works with glassesWhether people who wear glasses can use it — fits over them, or takes prescription lens inserts.

- Colour passthroughShows the real room in colour through the cameras — the prerequisite for any mixed-reality exercise.

- Suitable for trainingOur judgement on whether it survives real deployment: comfort, hygiene, fleet management.
- Yes
- Kiosk mode / MDMVendor tooling to enrol devices, push an app and lock the headset to it. Practically required above ten devices.

- Swappable facial interfaceRemovable, wipeable face padding. A consumable, and the difference between shared use and complaints.

- Business tierAn official business tier, so devices belong to the company rather than to employees’ personal accounts.

- Launch priceOfficial launch price in USD. Fixed history — useful for judging how a model has aged.

- Price todayApproximate current net price in USD — a general figure, since these barely differ between regions once tax is stripped out. A snapshot from the date shown, not an offer.
