HTC announced their VIVE Focus Plus premium standalone VR headset last month. Which is a follow up to the VIVE Focus from last year, originally only available in China.
The hardware inside remains relatively the same as the previous VIVE Focus. Including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, inside-out tracking camera and 2880 x 1600 AMOLED display with a 75Hz refresh rate.
