The HTC Vive should not exist. For a troubled company that’s spent much of the past few years making losses instead of profits, the niche and expensive VR market is the last place HTC is going to make a quick buck. And yet here we are, with the smartphone maker and Valve seemingly in it for the long haul. Expected Expense.

What an exciting week for technology, with the Facebook Connect, PS5 price announcement, Apple event and the release of RTX30 graphics cards! It is a perfect strategy, that makes NVIDIA able to offer very comprehensive end-to-end solutions (e.g. Image by Sony). What a time to be alive! Even Apple uses modified ARM chips.

The only exception to my predictions are some events that may disrupt everything, and one of them is Half-Life: Alyx. If you think about it, in the last period, the great years that we remember for headsets are 2016 (Rift CV1, HTC Vive) and 2019 (Oculus Quest, Valve Index). HTC will focus more on the enterprise market.

And it feels weird that HTC hasn’t fixed such a cheap little component that was already faulty on the original Vive. It was amazing seeing a mixed reality event used for such an important event. It is sold by Sony, but actually, the idea behind it comes from Impulse Gear , that studio that developed Farpoint.
