Immersive visual experiences are currently popular. If you want to turn your living room into a private cinema, you don’t necessarily need to add a large, ultra-high-definition TV. Recently, there have been XR glasses (extended reality) available on the market. They can be described as glasses-shaped displays that allow you to experience a viewing experience similar to a 130-inch screen without being limited by location. And the price is only a few thousand yuan, making it affordable.
HTC’s newly launched smart glasses, VIVE Flow, not only have more complete functions, but also compared to previous products of the same brand, these glasses are even lighter, weighing only 189 grams! The temple arms and facial cushions can also distribute the weight, reducing the burden for users who use them for long periods of time.
In terms of functionality, the VIVE Flow features two 2.1-inch 1600×1600 pixel LCD displays, providing a 100-degree field of view and a 75Hz refresh rate. The facial padding reduces light leakage, resulting in a clearer image. Users with nearsightedness or farsightedness can also adjust the focus within the glasses to display a clear image. Additionally, the glasses have built-in stereo speakers and two noise-canceling microphones, and can also connect wirelessly to headphones via Bluetooth.
For ease of use, VIVE Flow supports wireless controllers. Users only need to connect the wireless controller to their phone, and then connect the phone to the glasses to operate through the controller. In addition, if the phone itself supports Miracast function, users can directly wirelessly project the phone screen onto the glasses for viewing. There are Inside-Out 6DoF tracking lenses on both sides of the front of the glasses. Users can activate the pass-through mode to combine the real environment with virtual images.
