A new FCC listing appears for an HTC Vive headset. And in fact, a new request to FCC for a new device has arrived from HTC. FCC certifications are requested before releasing an electronic device in the US (to certify that it is safe to be used), so this is a clear sign that HTC is going to release a new headset soon.

And this year, we’ll see further growth of this trend, which has still a big untapped potential: many new items to try-before-you-buy, new features available for filters, new popular ecosystems (like WeChat) that are going to adopt it properly.

Boz has added that he doesn’t want to overhype these devices (to avoid the same error made by Magic Leap), and so he has confirmed that they are not AR glasses, but just smartglasses. So expect them to be able to show you notifications from your phone and nothing more. AR filter creation programs offer always more.

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. Being able to pick up your VR hardware and take it with you is a big benefit.
