Auto IPD is excellent!!!
I was unsure about buying the Focus Vision at first because of its high price, but after trying it out, I think it’s worth it for those who want both standalone and PCVR functionality. Switching between untethered and PC modes is smooth, and the PCVR performance is excellent, especially when using the DisplayPort converter for clear visuals.Even though the design is a bit bulky, the headset feels surprisingly comfortable. The weight is well-balanced, thanks to the battery being placed at the back, which makes long sessions easier. One of its best features is the automatic IPD adjustment, which is especially handy if multiple people are sharing the device. The display is sharp, and the MR mode works well.But there are some downsides. The price is quite high, and the headset uses an older Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 chip, which might not handle future demands as well as newer processors. The Fresnel lenses are functional but not as clear as the more advanced pancake lenses found in other headsets. Also, the standalone software options are limited, but the PCVR performance helps make up for this.This Focus Vision is a great choice for those who want a VR headset that works well for both standalone and PCVR uses. While it has a few flaws, its comfort, display quality, and versatility make it a solid option if youâre okay with the price.

Probably the worst headset I have tried
I am not really sure what HTC was thinking. They advertise the headset as being great for VRChat, but fail to make a working eye/face tracker. The mouth tracker is substandard, worse than the standalone face tracker they had previously, but discontinued. The eye tracking is just plain broken. Eyes shake all over the place, blinking constantly for no reason. And yes, I did run the calibration for it. I have the Vive Pro Eye and none of this happens with the same setup.Furthermore, getting it to work is a huge hassle. It constantly gives errors both in Steam and on the headset, being unable to connect. It rarely works. When it does work, it loses frames like crazy and quality becomes useless. It can’t maintain a stable connection on a high end router and high end PC. My Vive Pro Eye with wireless adapter has none of these problems.Clarity is not present. It has massive glare issues with godray glare that is common with Fresnel lenses, but far worse than that of the Vive and Vive Pro series. The weird rectangle viewer that is present in the Vive Pro 2 makes matters even worse. It is impossible to feel immersed in this headset.Finally, comfort. It is not at all. The auto IPD crushes my nose constantly, and I mean yes, constantly. It is always triggering randomly when I am doing things and causes pain. My nose size is not large and my IPD is 63, so nothing out of the ordinary. Other headsets don’t cause this issue. It pushes hard against my face and just feels like it was made for a different head shape. I can’t get it to fit well.Aside from the issues above, it feels worse than a Quest headset and costs far more. It is clearly not a product ready for release.To be fair, I guess some plusses? There is no light leak, they solved that well. The blacks are really not that bad, but still not OLED. The battery hotswap is pretty cool and should be in all wireless headsets. The sounds quality is decent, but still better with just using earbuds. Visual quality aside from issues mentioned is good, but those issues far outweigh screen quality.

HTC Vive Focus Vision: A Polished Evolution in Mixed Reality and VR Innovation
After my experience with the Vive XR Elite, which I reviewed as a standout addition to my extensive VR/AR/MR headset collection, I decided to give the HTC Vive Focus Vision a shot. And wowâHTC continues to impress with their innovation.The Focus Vision builds on the strengths of the XR Elite while pushing the envelope further in mixed reality integration. The device feels lighter and more streamlined, which makes it incredibly comfortable for extended sessionsâsomething I value as someone who spends hours testing and exploring new virtual worlds.Setup was straightforward, and I was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive the interface felt. The controllers, too, are responsive and ergonomic, elevating the overall experience. What sets the Focus Vision apart is its ability to seamlessly switch between standalone mixed reality and PC VR modes without compromising performance or visual quality.Compared to the XR Elite, the display on the Focus Vision feels slightly crisper, with improved clarity and vibrant colors, making the immersion even more compelling. HTCâs focus on reducing motion blur and latency has clearly paid off here.While no device is perfect, this one comes close. I did notice that some niche PC VR titles had minor compatibility quirks, but firmware updates from HTC have been consistent and responsive to user feedback.If the XR Elite was a âquantum leap,â the Focus Vision refines that leap into something more polished and versatile. Itâs a worthy successor that I can see myself using as my go-to headset, especially for mixed reality experiences. HTC is setting the bar high, and Iâm excited to see where they take this tech next.For VR enthusiasts, this is another must-have from HTC! Highly recommend.
