It will have escaped no one, HTC is in the red for months, seeking to move away from the smartphone to better raise. Virtual reality, through his helmet Vive, is one of its key assets, and promises to be a successful product. What restart the machine?
It
was yesterday that HTC opened preorders for its Vive, a promising
virtual reality helmet, we tried several times and that we look forward
to test further. But also an expensive device, since the price of 899 euros (799 dollars overseas), add more than 73 euros postage for France. Vive
buyers must also consider the configuration of the PC to which they
will connect, since it will require a configuration costing about a
thousand euros. In short, as the Oculus Rift in pre-orders since January, Vive is
definitely not a cheap product, and it will certainly be a few years
before returning such devices in the living room players "normal".
Still, according to one member of the team responsible for the development of virtual reality at HTC, Shen Ye, the live meeting a success. It evokes pre-orders up to 15 000 units in less than 10 minutes yesterday, although no official figures on its first 24 hours of pre-orders have yet been unveiled by HTC. If he follows the path initiated by Oculus, it is doubtful that HTC communicate more on the subject, especially as a third actor is expected shortly in the world of virtual reality: the Sony conference dedicated to its PlayStation VR is indeed scheduled for 15 March. Better, then, to the Taiwanese, do not declare victory too soon.
