HTC Vive Focus is one of the most famous standalone VR headsets. I have always been intrigued by this device, since the first time I’ve read about its reveal at an HTC event : I don’t know why, maybe because of the azure color that is my favorite, maybe because it looks so informal. It was funny. Upper view of the device.

This week has been pretty crazy: It all started with Facebook approving my silly The Unity Cube application (an application with just a cube) on App Lab. Image by HTC Vive).

Regarding the glasses, I have not big hopes for true AR glasses, but I think that thanks to Facebook and Apple, finally we’ll have some important smartglasses entering the market , making the mainstream think about wearing something on their face to enjoy notifications from the phone. Phone AR will be always more popular.

This is the same confusion that created issues for HTC in the past with the Vive Pro, for instance. The other part of the problem is due, as per my speculation, to Meta wanting absolutely to take this out before Apple could release its headse t, to have a first-mover advantage over it.
