VIVECON 2021,
London, UK, 11 May 2021 – HTC VIVE, the global leader in premium virtual reality (VR), today set a new benchmark for business and consumer VR, bringing 5K resolution and a 120-degree field of view as standard to the two new VR headsets announced today at VIVECON 2021, HTC’s global VR conference.
HTC VIVE has today revealed the VIVE Pro 2.
The VIVE Pro 2 features 5K resolution display, with 2.5K to each eye, along with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and fast-switching panel with real RGB sub-pixels. The field of view has increased to 120 degrees, thanks to the VIVE Pro 2’s new bespoke dual stacked-lens design. This reduces motion blur, and the ‘screen door effect’ is virtually eliminated.
HTC VIVE worked with NVIDIA and AMD to optimise Display Stream Compression, for the first time in a VR headset. This ensures maximum visual quality, and is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.2, so graphics cards that supported the VIVE Pro will see benefits with VIVE Pro 2.
