HTC Vive Focus is one of the most famous standalone VR headsets.

This kind of seamless interface is great and it is exactly the same one that HTC already offers with the Vive Focus Plus and Viveport Streaming and that I’ve tried and appreciated. I guess Oculus will aim at something similar, because it is very handy (Image by HTC Vive). Rift line gets discontinued.
