HTC says the Vive Air VR headset is just a concept
HTC Vive Air VR headset has been leaked via a design award by a Hanover-based organisation. The VR headset will be the latest addition to HTC s Vive VR headset family that includes the Cosmos series, Pro series, and Focus series. Images of HTC Vive Air have been shared on the design award website and the description says the headset has been designed for virtual fitness and has been inspired by sports shoes. HTC, however, has reportedly stated that this is just a concept and not shared any more information on the Vive Air VR headset.
Yesterday a brand new HTC VR headset was revealed – the VIVE Air. The leak came via an awards website, as the HTC Vive Air won in a product design category. However, according to HTC, this headset isn’t actually a real product.
You would think that if a design was submitted for awards and actually won, it would be for a product that will release onto the market. In this case though, HTC says that the Vive Air was simply a concept design, but that elements of the headset we saw may appear on other unannounced products.
Here is the full statement HTC gave to UploadVR: “It’s exciting to see our concept piece, the VIVE Air VR headset, win an iF Design Award. While this is only a concept, the design language has elements and inspirations you’ll see elsewhere in our products. We’re not ones to rest on our laurels, so although it’s great to win this award, we have business to attend to hopefully we’ll see you on 11/12 May at ViveCon.”
