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.
