I'm sure it will get a virtual desktop port at some point if the developers feel like working around the no controller issue, but I wouldnt blame developers from any application for not wasting their time with this piece of garbage.
According to the website, phones exynos chips are unsupported so no Samsung phones in Korea and Europe. Also no iPhone support. Also next gen headseats should be announced soon. This new headset is already obsolete just from having LCD instead of micro OLED display as upcoming headsets are expected to have.
I have an Oculus (since the go, quest V1 and then Quest V2). And if I can't play Death Unchained or Star Wars or Zombie land, then....why? Vive was the best maker of VR, it seemed to ignore the success of the Oculus, which I use 100% of the time. My Vive collects dust now. I was hoping the Vive Flow was gonna be an Oculus Quest killer....well, much like my blind dates, I was let down.
Not saying OQ2 is not better overall, which they probably are hands down. Butthe flow have some upsides, it has a fan, it has prescription-adjusting , it is lighter, has a better fow and i think they have better lenses even if that is hard to say without trying myself. But if u are into games, then u should probably stay away from the flow, it is clearly mainly for media consumtion. I think flow has a place, but it is extremly overpriced for what it is.
Hello, thank you for the presentation. One point I didn't understand is: Is it possible to watch content that I will create myself with a 360° camera with this VR glasses?
How was the SDE in this headset. 1600x1600 is not great but also not bad. For me personally, the optics are the amazing part of this headset, NO FRESNEL lenses and the ability to adjust the diopter saves having to buy prescription inserts for those of us who wear glasses, since the whole lens is a sweet spot, no IPD adjustment is needed. Now, if this thing can work with PCVR over a USB-C cable just like the Quest, then it becomes useful for Simmers (Racing and flight) since controllers are not needed for these.
never use a VR thing before but heck yeah it sounds fun! especially wacthing action movies or squid game lol. hoping there's a more option out there. htc sounds pricey to me & it is pricey. gotta look for other brand but dont even know where to start geez
Well until that is announced, we will never know . I am just pleased there is a real push in the VR techspace. One day the quest 2 will look like the iPhone 2 in terms of spec and size. I like the idea of a portable media VR headset. The price is a bit surprising, but Facebook are getting loads of marketing data with the quest 2 which is how they make up the deficit by selling it.
@@stephenbull2026 the headset itself looks pretty comfortable and would be great for pc vr if it had controllers. maybe they can release some kind of controller addition or universal hand tracking for controlling steam games. I'm going to wait and see what oculus has coming though. it is cool seeing more easy to use commercial vr headsets.
The quest, If not subsidised by Facebook, I imagine would have been around the £800 price point. They will need to get either a killer app for it or have an amazing advertising campaign. Maybe just point out the benefits of now being able to watch porn in public without shame...🙄😂
Why TF do we (UK) always get shafted when it comes to paying for items from abroad... ie., item available in the USA for $ 60.00... available in the UK for £60.00??.. When the current exchange rate is: $1.00 US Dollar = £0.73 British Pounds... we are absolute mugs
They are disappointingly out of touch, it's funny to see them release something with so much potential that will be so wasted. I look forward to when other VR tech gets this form factor though.
Not gonna lie I'm majorly disappointed as I thought I could have something to replace my quest 2. Looks like imma keep having to wait. Come on HTC. Get with it!!!!!
The resolution is actually terrible. And lcd panels is a huge let down. The only people who would buy this are people who have no idea what's going on in VR right now.
how is it terrible, it's 1600x1600 for each eye, I have a good VR experience with less resolution on my Rift S. Sure the Quest 2 already offers 1832 x 1920 per eye but rarely are games really using the full res anyway...
@@TheFlash946 The quest 2 is $299, so keep that in mind. Seeing as it's almost 2022, this is just sad compared to what's coming. Facebook is going to steam roll them on the 28th. Micro oled is going to replace these trash lcd panels. htc has fallen behind.
I mean... It's almost as good as the Oculus Go was. Sure the Go didn't need to use a phone as a controller and was way cheaper... but it's almost as good as the Go. Say... what happened to the Go? It was discontinued because no one wanted a VR media player? Huh... funny. Wonder how this overpriced piece of crap will sell?
It's not necessarily that people are against VR media players, they just dont want a device that does ONLY media playing. The quest 2 sells so well because it's the best of the media and gaming world. You'd think HTC would get that.
These types of products convince me that I should be a company CEO or at the very least directing something. Talk about dead on arrival. What are theseVive guys thinking.
Having the eye focusing is the key for me as a glasses wearer. Other brands not having even a basic (built in) adjustment offering is the reason I’ve never bought into VR. Well done HTC!
@@m0rdresh lol. "wellness" what the fuck would that even mean? Why make it look like weird sunglasses to discourage any public use? Even google made a little bluetooth controller for their vr phone headset. Having no controller at all is massively silly. A phone is bulky and this wastes phone battery. The use of a phone as the main controller makes this look like a device dump to get rid of them before announcing the project is dead.
@@_PatrickO I meant mindfulness and the many apps available for that. It's a very lightweight device that moves away from the goggles we've seen. Not a fan of the smartphone controls either, they did mention hand tracking will come at a later stage. I think it does have an audience, time will tell.
They could have totally done it too. They could have given it at least 4 cameras for tracking and then hand tracking could be baked in too. They could have kept the form factor and just put more of the components into a battery pack/computing puck that you plug in. So many of us are used to having a battery pack plugged in. Hell it could have been an add-on for the gamers that comes with controllers too. The. They could have had the model out of the box for mindfulness and media viewing and if you wanted more you buy the gaming add-ons with the compute puck and controllers. Like even at 6-800 bucks I bet people would have bought it if it could do all that.
@@orionishi6737 in theory they could still do that. have a rear compute pack in a htc deluxe type strap.....and than the controllers would need to have cameras on them like the upcoming quest 2+ so they could track themselves
Totally out of touch with what the VR space needs and wants. We need high quality AAA PCVR/standalone games with wireless capabilities, not headsets to look at your phone in. HTC continues to fail to read the room to an almost tragic degree. At this point HTC are begging to get laughed out of the VR industry permanently.
I've been looking for a portable video viewing device that's lightweight and has decent display quality. This product not only fills that need, but appears to be able to do rudimentary VR on the side, which is a plus. I would test this product out myself, and likely purchase it unless the battery situation is too unwieldly.
@@andyyang5234 is the price worth it just for that though? I'd guess most people wouldn't think such a limited use at that price is a worthwhile investment.
The problem is they aren't targeting gamers with this device. They're targeting people that dont already have a pre-existing interest in VR. The problem they fail to realize that people that dont already care about VR arent going to pay 500 dollars for a glorified mirroring device. I'd like to meet the developers over at HTC they have absolutely no idea what people want.
no dedicated controllers, battery and the requirement of a phone makes this bewildering. this could of been really cool but i don't understand this product compared to the quest 2, especially for the price. which is a shame because the form factor of this is pretty neat
Right!? Like why would they not give it an XR2, at least 4 cameras for tracking, and controllers! They could have even made the controllers an add on for those who want those capabilities. And then 500 bucks!? And you can't even play bigger games on it or connect to a computer even? What is the point? The form factor is epic though. Got me really excited for whatever else is coming out from others.
I could see this being a great option for pc vr if people can mod a HTC deluxe audio strap and virtual desktop onto it. just because it is so much lighter than the quest 2
The small size is the biggest selling point but it doesn't do any of the things that people actually want. I have no idea what they were thinking with this.
What's truly insane is the fact apple phones cant be used with the flow. That's 50 percent of their target market that would have to buy a new phone just to use this pos lmao
I don't see any reason to own this instead of the quest 2. Maybe if the quest 2 is too big, and you just barely can't fit it in your bag. But other than that the quest 2 can do everything this can and so much more while still being a lot cheaper.
As much as I hate quest 2 for a mandatory facebook account, I want VR for PC games, maybe occasional 360° videos. No headphone jack, there may be latency correction but that is a deal breaker for me.
@Boemel It's still Meta. There's realistically no functional difference; they can connect the dots between whatever information you're REQUIRED to give them.
So... it doesn't have controllers or hand tracking (like the Quest)... and it is a standalone (That requires being tethered to an external device... wait. What does standalone mean again?)... and it costs more than the quest that is empirically better in every way (120 refresh rate anyone?). Wow. Vive knocked it out of the box with this one. I bet Oculus is throwing them a celebration party.
@@dtz1000 Sadly, I gotta think it was a bunch of youtubers that Vive comped or gave special access to in exchange for being favorable in reviews. While I don't think there is a true bias... It's funny that so many early access reviewers fail to mention the massive failings of this headset and just end with "May not personally be for me, but lots of people will love it!" I've heard that same statement too many times for it to be a coincidence.
i don't think I'll be picking one up because its price point makes absolutely no sense. no controllers no hand tracking lower refresh rate require an android phone require a power bank At this point HTC are begging to get laughed out of the VR industry permanently.
@@Hanzi2u supposedly it has just enough battery for not shutting down the device if you unplug the external battery by mistake. It puts itself in power saving mode as soon as you disconnect the external battery, which can be your phone or a proper battery.
The huge lens may make me look like a pervert. why can't they make them regular size? at 1:06, I see the 0-6 eye glass prescription dials, but aren't they for near sighted only? Not for far sighted? I used to be a heavy VR user (since wave 2 of vive) and heard that this is a more suitable target for users who need relaxation which is me. I wonder how long it'll take me to get used to this. Without a controller but just using the phone, I don't think this will be a target for gaming customers since it'll reduce immersion
plus they use flat lenses instead of Fresnel lenses so i think it is not as well suited to VR gaming. I want it to succeed so that new ideas will lead to innovation . Bendable phones, whilst not practical as a phone will lead to amazing tech somewhere else....curved VR screens 🤔
I smartphone literally the one thing without usable buttons for VR, seems like a rushed decision by HTC once they realised that controllers wouldn’t work at that price point
So you rip the battery out forcing people to use an external battery, then boast how it's lighter than quest 2 for media... I'm pretty sure HTC should cease to exist at this point, it's not even enterprise market product as they said they will be targeting things to be, it's a product few years late, like 5-6. An utter joke with not even the best specs. You make basically glasses for vr video with LCD panels instead of OLED, dafuq? No headphone jack for legit sound that at the very least will relax those starter level audiophiles. Just a joke, even the OG vive looks like a better buy compared to this
Such glasses for phones only? So much of waste potential. Let me tell that all showcases that I saw are very dissapointing. Movies and porn - that is all that it will be used for, unless it will become compatibile with PC and consoles.
What a waste! Design and size are the best but this should had been a quest killer with this size, not some half life games but at least like quest 2, would have been incredible, and wtf 499?? Nore theb the quest for just multimedia come on
Is this some sort of joke by HTC , This device is pointless , No controllers Doesn’t work with iOS Got to carry a huge battery pack No thanks I’ll stick with my quest 2
Finally, I’ll get to see my anime waifu in re- I mean use this for industrial applications…
😌
Hehe
Sorry full dive hasn’t been invented yet
That IS an industrial application. You're certainly producing something... 😅
Going to be useless for anyone that needs thier arms. Productivity? Vive sync? Controlled with a phone? Yeah nah.
There's a $70 remote you can get, it's a 1 handed thing. The new 1 has full hand tracking but it's costly
Mobile vr is in a very poor state. If I can’t connect it to my pc, it’s useless to me
It supports Miracast which is an open standard that use Wifi Direct. Once its released, it should be easy for PCs and other devices to cast to it.
I'm sure it will get a virtual desktop port at some point if the developers feel like working around the no controller issue, but I wouldnt blame developers from any application for not wasting their time with this piece of garbage.

I think these are full RGB displays, not pentile. so 1600x1600 shuld still be pretty good. (better than valve index or Rift S in terms of SDE)
Can you get standalone vr apps for the Vive Flow?
I don’t purchase subscriptions and services.
kudos just for the cinema comment :D (yeah am getting old too)
wonder if it can be modded with a htc deluxe audio strap and vitrual desktop for a light vr headset

for the love of all things good, at least get something with controllers.
You look like the poster for ‘fear and loathing in Las Vegas’
Can this be used as a monitor for a mac mini?
Absolutely not lol. Apple will throw a fit when you plug this thing in.
Aside from it's size, weight, and not giving up your data to Facebook, is their any advantage to this over the Oculus Quest 2?
doesn't need a computer
Nope there is not
No since its not a gaming vr headset, what a waste

It is half the weight of a quest. If this has VR apps that work with rowing machines, excersise bikes etc I can see this having a market.
I could be wrong. ,but i seem to remember reading somewhere the chipset for the Vive was 835 or 845 snapdragon , can anyone confirm ?

The huge lens may make me look like a pervert. why can't they make them regular size? at 1:06, I see the 0-6 eye glass prescription dials, but aren't they for near sighted only? Not for far sighted?
I used to be a heavy VR user (since wave 2 of vive) and heard that this is a more suitable target for users who need relaxation which is me. I wonder how long it'll take me to get used to this.
Without a controller but just using the phone, I don't think this will be a target for gaming customers since it'll reduce immersion
plus they use flat lenses instead of Fresnel lenses so i think it is not as well suited to VR gaming. I want it to succeed so that new ideas will lead to innovation . Bendable phones, whilst not practical as a phone will lead to amazing tech somewhere else....curved VR screens 🤔
I smartphone literally the one thing without usable buttons for VR, seems like a rushed decision by HTC once they realised that controllers wouldn’t work at that price point
VR goggles destroy your eyes slowly
Great video!
htc... What the hell are you doing?
So you rip the battery out forcing people to use an external battery, then boast how it's lighter than quest 2 for media... I'm pretty sure HTC should cease to exist at this point, it's not even enterprise market product as they said they will be targeting things to be, it's a product few years late, like 5-6. An utter joke with not even the best specs. You make basically glasses for vr video with LCD panels instead of OLED, dafuq? No headphone jack for legit sound that at the very least will relax those starter level audiophiles. Just a joke, even the OG vive looks like a better buy compared to this
These will be $100 in less than 2 years.
Such glasses for phones only? So much of waste potential. Let me tell that all showcases that I saw are very dissapointing. Movies and porn - that is all that it will be used for, unless it will become compatibile with PC and consoles.
What a waste! Design and size are the best but this should had been a quest killer with this size, not some half life games but at least like quest 2, would have been incredible, and wtf 499?? Nore theb the quest for just multimedia come on
Wow, these are going to sell like hot cakes 🔥🍰 (sarcasm).
Is this some sort of joke by HTC ,
This device is pointless ,
No controllers
Doesn’t work with iOS
Got to carry a huge battery pack
No thanks I’ll stick with my quest 2
so you do not actually have a dessboard and so cannot write content in words etc. They are not usable for normal officework?
Why are they £499 in the UK if only $499 in US, we’re getting butt fuked. Should be £366 over here when you convert $ to £.
UA-cam and horror movie that what I’m buying for
another failed product in the way of VR success.
How to Connect the HTC Vive Flow to SteamVR [Step-by-Step]
Why are they trying to make this portable no one wants this ? This is basically diet vr 🤢
So a not standalone oculus go+ at £200 more than quest 2…….ummmmmm…….Ooooooook?
Still looks stupid.
Everyone shush 🤐 htc is trying to go out of business
Please buy a quest dont waste your money
'my left eye is proper borked' haha, I say borked all the time :D
for adult videos
So how well did they fare with VR porn?? 😂🤣😂
