HTC reveals Vive Focus, all-in-one VR headset
Taiwanese consumer electronics firm HTC has unveiled the Vive Focus, the first standalone six-degrees-of-freedom headset to hit the market. However, HTC's announcement only covered the release of the Vive Focus in China, and gave no details on pricing or launch date. In addition, the company also confirmed it had cancelled its project with Google on a Vive-branded Daydream headset.

HTC has officially revealed the Vive Focus, its all-in-one VR headset. As previously announced, the Vive Focus runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip and uses inside-out positional tracking. It should be the first standalone six-degrees-of-freedom VR headset to see release, though HTC isn't saying exactly when it'll be available.

The Vive Focus uses a somewhat simple-looking three-degrees-of-freedom controller with a similar trackpad to the larger Vive devices. The headset's design is unusual, taking cues from both PlayStation VR and HTC's own Vive Deluxe Audio Strap, and it comes in a bright shade of blue. HTC hasn't given a lot more away about the Focus' other specs, like its screen resolution.

HTC has only announced plans for the Vive Focus in China just yet, and even then there aren't any details on pricing or a release date. If you were holding out for that Vive-branded standalone Google Daydream headset, meanwhile, there's bad news — HTC and Google have cancelled their plans to bring it to the US.
