HTC has just launched a new Vive standalone VR headset. While the current HTC Vive requires the sizable headset to be tethered to a substantial PC rig, the new device does not need a PC, phone or cables. The firm has cut the cord with its more mobile Vive standalone innovative device now.

You don’t need a PC, phone or cables to use HTC Vive New VR headset

The new standalone headset from HTC is very much like Samsung’s Gear VR and Google’s Daydream View. However, it has one major difference. Instead of sliding your phone inside the headset, the latest VR headset viewer has the screen, power and room-mapping smarts packed in already.

HTC Vive VR headset is the first standalone headset to use Google’s Daydream platform.

We still don’t know the date of release for this device from HTC. However, it is likely that you will be able to get your hands on the device near Christmas.
