To talk about virtual reality is to do it about a market sector that, for a long time, seems to promise a lot but that, in one way or another, never ends up taking off or simply meeting the enormous expectations with which many companies in the market make us dream. Even so, the truth is that there are still those who bet on the development of this technology, despite the fact that there are many companies that 'have abandoned ship' as can be HTC and his new Live Pro.
Within the framework of CES 2018 Leaders of the Taiwanese company have decided that this was the ideal event to present to the world their new HTC Vive Pro, an improved version of their virtual reality glasses that now stand out for offering a resolution that is practically unrivaled in the market. As a detail, tell you that one of the great novelties that this evolution of the well-known device presents is the incorporation of OLED displays with resolution 2880 x 1600 pixels.
Thanks to the increase in resolution and the refresh rate, the image quality of the HTC Vive Pro grows considerably
According to the statement published officially by HTC itself, the new Vive Pro stand out, among other things, for offering a 78% higher resolution to the HTC Vive that until now were marketed and that enjoyed 2160 x 1200 pixels, without a doubt a point very in their favor, especially for all those developers who use this type of instrument for a much more professional market and that in this aspect sought a significant evolution.
Continuing with the increase in resolution of the new HTC Vive Pro, according to the company and thanks to the use of these new OLED panels, the joint resolution of both is similar to '3K'. On the other hand, we must bear in mind that the refresh rate is increased to 75 Hz which means, if we combine these two measures, the end user will be able to enjoy a much higher image quality thanks to a higher definition.
The designers of HTC have decided to add to their product a headset completely integrated in the design
To this improvement, perhaps one of the most requested by developers, professionals or the gamer community is joined by another that, despite not being so striking, is also very important due to the advantages and comfort that it can offer. As you can see in the images we talk about the integration of speakers, something that all users have already requested and confirmed from HTC itself, will make the glasses much more comfortable to wear.
If you have ever used a first generation HTC Vive or have been interested in getting one, it will surely surprise you that, in order to listen to audio of some kind, you depended directly on what the Taiwanese company called Deluxe Audio Strap, a utility that allowed you to use headphones. On the HTC Vive Pro, this now becomes a superfluous complement that is now unnecessary.
Vive Wireless Adapter, wireless controllers compatible with both the new HTC Vive and the previous ones
Finally we cannot say goodbye without talking about the Live Wireless Adapter, a new accessory that, despite having a rather complex name and difficult to remember, is nothing more than wireless control knobs that are compatible with both this new version of the HTC Vive and the previous one. As we have been able to know, these new controls implement Intel WiGig technology, something that makes them much more interesting due to their great possibilities. Unfortunately and according to HTC, this accessory will still take time to reach the market since its launch is not expected until, at least, the third quarter of this year 2018.
If you are interested in the HTC Vive Pro, tell you that, at least for now, we can only offer you the most interesting details that have been experienced in its presentation since the company has not wanted to make public others such as the launch date or the price although, at this point, it is very true that they have commented that this product is high-end so we can imagine that they won't be cheap at all for an average consumer.
