In the roughly 20 months since HTC released the Vive XR Elite, fans, and media have openly wondered where the elite VR hardware creator would go next. Well, now we have our answer: HTC Vive Focus Vision.
Building on HTC Vive Focus 3 and boasting significant features like color passthrough, eye tracking, dual 16MP cameras, and improved PC VR support, HTC Vive Focus Vision aims to be a supreme VR/AR gaming machine. Still, it should hold plenty of appeal to VR porn fans thanks to numerous improvements to visual fidelity, passthrough capability, battery life, and comfort. Here we will go through the main features of HTC Vive Focus Vision and identify just how they will impact VR and AR porn use.
Vision: the Visuals
Although it uses Fresnel lenses and not the more advanced pancake design now favored by the likes of Meta and Apple, Focus Vision does boast an impressive 5K resolution (2.5K per eye), a 90Hz refresh rate, and 120° FoV. Furthermore, color passthrough will enable users to immerse themselves in virtual sex in a whole new way via the increasingly popular arena of passthrough AR porn. Bringing pornstars into your own living space is about as close to the longstanding dream of most VR porn users and full color passthrough such as this makes it more achievable than ever.
Tracking the Titillation
Eye tracking capabilities allow for less physically demanding control mechanisms – so your hands can get to work elsewhere, naturally – and should help spur on development of VR and AR porn that is more intuitive and personalized. In the realm of CGI content and VR porn games, eye tracking will be crucial to the development of more interactive content with a higher degree of malleability. HTC Vive Focus Vision also offers enhanced hand tracking which will aid in the above noted sexual adventures, too.Power and Price Point
Bringing a hot-swappable battery that provides up to 2 hours of power and with an internal backup battery allowing for ~20 mins of use between battery swaps, HTC Vive Focus Vision seems to have longer gaming (and fapping) sessions in mind. Again, this is perfect for VR porn gaming sessions. Also of note here is that an internal fan provides Focus Vision users with 30% more airflow for improved cooling, comfort, and performance.
Priced at $999 USD, HTC Vive Focus Vision sits between Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro and makes a compelling case for use by a wide range of users, gamers, and VR/AR porn fans in particular.
