> While the tech world gets in a flurry about Apple’s rumoured mixed reality (MR) headset, HTC has gone ahead and unveiled its own version: the Vive XR Elite. It’s clearly taking shots at the Meta Quest Pro and aiming for the flagship headset crown.
As the ‘mixed reality’ term suggests, the Vive XR Elite combines virtual reality (which immerses you in a digital realm) with augmented reality (which overlays data onto the real world). It features four 4K displays with 90Hz refresh rates, a modular design that can be either battery powered or tethered, and adjustable lenses that are able to accommodate glasses wearers, letting you leave your spectacles behind.
