Almost a year after it was\u00a0launched in China, the\u00a0HTC Vive Focus VR Headset\u00a0<\/a>is being released worldwide to 37 markets with a new focus on business interests touting itself as an \u201call-in-one solution for enterprise\u201d. It will launch on November 11 for $999AUD.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of a larger attempt to make HTC VR headsets appealing to companies, including a newly announced collaboration app called Vive Sync, which lets employees in different offices meet and work together in VR.<\/p>\n

Although VR headsets have recently been marketed towards gaming, HTC has recognised that VR has is very relevant to businesses in particular automotive design, medical training, situational training, and location-based enterprises.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The set is priced at $999, with the option of upgrading to the Vive Enterprise Advantage service package which will provide commercial licensing, dedicated support for VIVE Enterprise products, and more.<\/p>\n

HTC\u2019s Vive Focus does not require a phone or an external PC. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, offers a resolution of 1440 x 1600 per eye and the battery lasts up to three hours.<\/p>\n

However, it uses HTC\u2019s Vive\u2019s proprietary Android-based platform Vive Wave rather than Google Daydream. Vive Wave is now used by many third-party manufacturers, mainly in China.<\/p>\n

\"\"C,<\/p>\n

HTC has also announced a new collab tool dubbed Vive Sync, which enables VR conference calls allowing users to brand the VR environment and import virtual objects to share with others in the enterprise application.<\/p>\n

This feature can also be integrated with Office 365. Trials for this are set to being in December ahead of the Q1 launch next year.<\/p>\n
