They started teasing this in September.

Probably going to officially announce it next month but it'll be still few months before it hits the stores.

Bradley on YouTube leaked it a month ago and called it "Flowcus" - a standalone modular headset, something like an upgraded Vive Flow with higher res (1920x1920, 120Hz), much faster chip (XR2 Gen 1 or Gen 2) and depth sensor.

I'm kinda excited about this one because of how small, lightweight and portable it looks despite being so powerful.

Hope Vive don't fuck it up.

We're talking about their VR headsets. The only good one was the vive. Every subsequent one has been overpriced and trash.

Focus 3 is great albeit pricey, probably still better bang for your buck than Quest Pro even with being 1.5 years older device

They have had some decent products, but none of them geared toward consumers.

I was gonna say, the vive was for a brief time the best headset on the market and I've had zero complaints. Never got another one so can't speak to their quality but I definitely my money's worth.

IT nerd here but never got in to VR, I thought HTC was the overpriced Cadillac of VR equipment?
