HTC’s $1100 Quest Pro Competitor Ships Soon.
HTC’s Quest Pro competitor is Vive XR Elite, shipping in February for $1100.
Vive XR Elite has a compact design achieved through the use of pancake lenses which look to be the same as Vive Flow’s from late 2021.
It’s powered by the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 processor seen in most other standalone headsets.
Like Quest Pro it supports mixed reality via color passthrough.
But HTC pitches Vive XR Elite’s passthrough as noticeably superior, with higher resolution and dynamic range.
UploadVR went hands-on with Vive XR Elite at CES 2022 and came away with the impression of much clearer mixed reality than Quest Pro.
HTC claims it’s even good enough to read your laptop or phone screen without taking the headset off, but we’ll need more time testing to assess whether that’s truly usable.
It also features a depth sensor (dropped from Quest Pro in the months before launch) to automatically mesh your room so virtual objects can collide with real objects.
