This virtual reality headset offers 4K resolution, with 2K per eye, a 110° field of view and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth are on the agenda, as is hand tracking with 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF).

The VIVE XR Elite also offers a camera dedicated to the pass-through to provide the ability to enjoy mixed reality. Unlike virtual reality which allows you to dive into an entirely digital universe, mixed reality consists of the superposition of digital content on the images of the real world provided by the camera in question. From its launch, users will be able to enjoy a hundred new experiences, games or applications, on VIVEPORT.
