HTC just unveiled the HTC Vive pro at CES2018. The HTC Vive Pro virtual reality headsets succeed the HTC Vive headsets which received much critical acclaim in the tech industry and world over - hence the obvious anticipation excitement from journalists and VR enthusiasts alike in the days leading up to the CES tech convention.
The upgrades to the Vive headsets are not mind blowing but they are nothing to sneeze at either. The Vive pro made such an impression at CES in fact that it was awarded 'Best Of CES - Best Gaming Product’ from the team at engadget. That's because as expected HTC did not hold back with the bells and whistles on the Vive pro. HTC has increased the resolution of the dual-OLED displays to 2880 x 1600 (1400 x 1600 per eye, and 615 ppi), a 78 percent increase from the 2160 x 1200 (1080 x 1200 per eye) resolution in the current Vive. This now means the graphics on the Vive are crisper than ever.
Another significant alteration HTC made to it's VR headsets is the addition of integrated 3D audio headphones. The adjustable headphones provide spacial audio support for whatever your VR needs might be.
The attached headphones flip up on either side, but when they're in actual use, they sit comfortably over the ears for an enhanced VR experience. The Vive Pro features dual front-facing cameras and two microphones, too.
