The First Image of HTC's Upcoming MR Headset for Consumers

HTC's upcoming standalone VR headset, which aims to compete with the Meta for consumer dollars, may have hit a pretty big hole ahead of its promised CES 2023 reveal this week (January 5-8). HTC seems to have leaked the word by accidentally releasing the name and price of the headset via its Korean storefront – and since HTC's VR headsets are simply great for our premium VR porn movies, we're eager to learn as much as possible about this latest VR kit!

According to an exclusive report from The Verge, HTC is preparing to expand beyond enterprise and business again, offering what HTC's global product chief Ye Shen calls a "small, lightweight, fully functional all-in-one headset" referring to virtual reality and augmented reality. Ye called it an effort to create something "meaningful and engaging to consumers," which he went on to explain was a culmination of lessons learned while making the HTC Vive Flow and Vive Focus 3. It's also likely to be more expensive than the $400 Quest 2, which will be a sticking point if it really wants to be a consumer-first device rather than a prosumer headset like the Quest Pro.

It’s said to be “one of the lightest that’s on the market,” although there are still a few mysteries to unveil. It’s uncertain whether it will include eye-tracking, although HTC has a track record of releasing eye-tracking modules which it may pursue here as well. Privacy protections – which is always one of the most important topics for us and our VR sex scenes at VRBangers.com – are also a concern that HTC hopes to address regarding its externally facing cameras, although they haven’t said anything definite yet. HTC’s unnamed headset reportedly suffered a leak of its design and some key specs back in November, which showed off the outer shell and alleged dual 1,920×1,920 LCDs clocked up to 120hz, mechanical IPD adjustments, pancake lenses, head strap adjustment mechanism, and back-mounted battery.

At the time, VR analyst and YouTuber Brad Lynch alleged the leak also included some vague info on its chipset being “faster than the [Snapdragon XR2] in Quest 2,” as it’s speculated to possibly be the upcoming Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2. Moreover, Twitter user Inscothen managed to find a brief listing on HTC's Korean storefront listing the Vive XR Elite as its upcoming standalone headset, the exact same one that debuted at CES this week. The headset has a list price of 1,790,000 won (about $1,400). None of the information from the leak has been confirmed, however, so we’ll just have to wait and see at CES 2023, which takes place January 5-8 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Stay with us and stay tuned to learn more about these upcoming VR goggles – as long as HTC is going to deliver and maintain the level of quality to which they have so far accustomed us, we're sure that this new VR headset will be a great option for our premium VR porn videos!
