The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal.

HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). The Neo 2 may not be sexy as the Quest, but it is more powerful (thanks to the Snapdragon 845), has a crisper resolution , and in the “Eye” version, it also features embedded eye tracking.

We don’t know if it is just a reference design for external partners (like HTC) or it is an actual headset that Valve is producing.

This seems crazy to me: HTC has always been blamed for its high prices (well, $1400 for the Vive Pro was a bit too much…) but the Vive Focus Plus , that is an enterprise device, costs $799… $200 less than the Business Quest! The Business Quest is present only in the 128 GB edition and it costs $999. not VR 2.0.

The second most important XR news from this F8 has surely been the reveal of the Oculus Half Dome prototype : a tethered headset with varifocal display (that lets you see sharply the objects that in VR are close to your face, for instance), 140 degrees field of view and eye tracking. You can see the announcement in this video.

But the big question is the “how”. How is Apple going to sell this headset?
