Overview
The HTC VIVE Pro Virtual Reality System is a high-end VR system designed to meet the needs of the most demanding VR users. It is an easy-to-deploy system that scales with your business and provides a rich feature set for professional users. The system is ideal for both seated environments and expansive, multi-user deployments. It delivers the highest fidelity, clearest audio, and most immersive VR experience.
The HTC VIVE Pro features Steam VR 2.0 tracking, which is ideal for multi-user environments and offers sub-millimeter tracking accuracy. It supports room-scale tracking up to 22’11” x 22’11”. The system also boasts a high-resolution display with dual-OLED displays that offer an industry-leading resolution of 2880 x 1600 pixels. This ensures unparalleled visual fidelity of graphics, text, and textures.
The VR system also includes spatial audio with noise cancellation. It comes with hi-res, high impedance headphones that offer 3D spatial sound with active noise cancellation. This allows for an immersive experience without distractions from real-world sounds. The headset is designed for multi-user and extended use, with even weight distribution, easy on and off, and adjustments for head size, glasses, and interpupillary distance (IPD).
The HTC VIVE Pro also supports the VIVE Tracker ecosystem, which allows you to add real-life objects to the VIVE Tracker, bringing the object into your virtual simulation. This is ideal for motion capture, automotive, aerospace, or heavy equipment simulation. The system also includes a 2-month subscription to VIVEPORT INFINITY, which offers unlimited VR play of over 700 games and apps.
Consensus Review
The HTC VIVE Pro Virtual Reality System has received generally positive reviews from users. Many users have praised the system for its high-resolution display, which significantly reduces the "screen door effect" that is common in other VR systems. The improved resolution and visual fidelity have been noted to enhance the overall VR experience.
The comfort and adjustability of the headset have also been highlighted by users. The even weight distribution and the ability to adjust for head size, glasses, and interpupillary distance (IPD) have been appreciated by users, making the system suitable for multi-user and extended use.
However, some users have noted that the VR experience still feels compromised due to the current limitations of VR technology. While the HTC VIVE Pro offers improvements over its predecessor, some users feel that it still falls short of delivering a "retina-like" experience. The need to look straight ahead for the picture to resolve correctly and the visibility of pixels, albeit fewer, have been pointed out as areas for improvement.
The system's high price point has also been a point of contention among users. While some users feel that the quality and features of the HTC VIVE Pro justify its price, others feel that it is too expensive, especially when compared to other VR systems on the market.
