HTC’s expanded Vive Cosmos family may help lure more VR users

[ad_1] Starting off with the entry-level Vive Cosmos Play, eagle-eyed readers may already notice that this is the same design as the Cosmos in its teaser form back at CES 2019.

Add eye tracking to your HTC Vive headset for $149

[ad_1] Since our first encounter back in 2017, 7invensun received funding from HTC’s Vive X accelerator and eventually delivered its third-generation eye-tracking add-on, the Droolon F1. This is apparently more compact and easier to install than the earlier versions, and it runs off a USB cable that you plug into the headset — be it […]

HTC’s standalone VR kit will stream PC content via WiFi

[ad_1] To set up, you’ll obviously have to log into the same Viveport account on the headset and the PC, and then connect both devices to the same 5GHz WiFi network. Then it’s just a matter of hitting the “PC Stream” button on the headset’s main menu, and from there you’ll be able to launch […]
