Snap is one of the biggest tech companies in the world, and one of the most committed to augmented reality. HTC releases eye and face tracking for Vive Focus 3.

But I think it’s not a good move for Meta, for the following reasons: It shows that it is “afraid” of HTC. The move has probably been done to better compete with the Vive XR Elite, which is going to be released now exactly for $1100.

HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will be available for pre-orders since April, 5th. But, as Road To VR has stated, maybe HTC should have clarified that in all its marketing material.
