The displays otherwise are fairly good, even if the lenses seem to limit their sharpness somewhat. Theoretical Maximum (based on software rendering, courtesy HMD Geometry Database) Personal Measurements – 64mm IPD (minimum-comfortable eye-relief, no glasses, measured with TestHMD 1.2) This is furthered by a surprisingly small vertical field-of-view which makes feel like the top and bottom of the view has been cropped down. Combined with the usual god-rays plus additional outer glare from the new dual-element lenses, and the headset’s tight sweet spot makes the view feel oddly cramped at times. Rotate your eyes just a bit and text becomes difficult to read. Even though the field-of-view is wider than the original Vive Pro, much of that added field-of-view gets blurry quickly. Part of the issue seems to be that the lenses can’t escape the historically tight sweet spot we find on HTC headsets. While the resolution and field-of-view are good on paper, ultimately the headset doesn’t achieve either of those goals-it doesn’t have a field-of-view that’s as large or larger than Index, nor does it have as great or greater clarity than Reverb G2. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite get there, and also has a few other oversights that belie the “Pro” branding. With regards to fitting in with the competition and justifying its price, the key goal for Vive Pro 2 would be to offer customers the wide field of view of Valve Index with the clarity of Reverb G2-or at least one or the other. Here’s a quick look at how this stacks up to the headset’s two nearest competitors:
And that ought to be the goal to justify the steep asking price of $800 for the headset by itself or $1,400 full kit price. HTC’s Vive Pro 2 brings some serious specs that, on paper, make it look like the headset will deliver an unbeatable experience compared to its competitors. HTC Vive Pro 2 Summary Photo by Road to VRĪs is tradition, our full review goes into significant depth, so we’ll start with a summary. Vive wand controllers, rechargable battery SteamVR Tracking 1.0 or 2.0 (external beacons) Before we dive into the full review, here’s a recap of the headset’s specs: Vive Pro 2 Specs Unfortunately the headset’s performance doesn’t quite justify the Pro price. With a class-leading price, the “Pro” branded headset is clearly positioned to one-up its contemporaries. Three years after the original Vive Pro, HTC’s Vive Pro 2 is here.
