[ad_1] When the Oculus Quest originally launched, I knocked it for feeling a bit limited for a $400 device. But it’s now shaping up to be the most versatile headset around. And you can bet that price will fall over time. Still, it’d be nice to see Oculus take another stab at a dedicated high-end […]

HTC’s Exodus 1s can run a full Bitcoin node for under $250
[ad_1] At least that’s the idea. While it’s not as intensive as mining Bitcoin, running a full node still requires a lot of computing power. In fact, HTC recommends only using the feature while the phone is connected to WiFi and plugged into its power adapter. The company also plans to roll out full node […]
HTC Vive Cosmos review: Too late, too expensive
[ad_1] Once I worked through the software issues, the Vive Cosmos managed to deliver a solid high-end VR experience. In the shooter Raw Data, the high-res displays made the environments look crisper and more detailed than on the Vive. It was also a great test for the Cosmos’s tracking and motion controllers, since it involves […]
Add eye tracking to your HTC Vive headset for $149
[ad_1] Since our first encounter back in 2017, 7invensun received funding from HTC’s Vive X accelerator and eventually delivered its third-generation eye-tracking add-on, the Droolon F1.

HTC agreed to only sell phones that used a workaround in the UK. However, according to the BBC, Ipcom claimed HTC hadn’t put that workaround in place, based on tests it ran earlier […]
HTC’s standalone VR kit will stream PC content via WiFi
[ad_1] To set up, you’ll obviously have to log into the same Viveport account on the headset and the PC, and then connect both devices to the same 5GHz WiFi network. Then it’s just a matter of hitting the “PC Stream” button on the headset’s main menu, and from there you’ll be able to launch […]
HTC Vive will help more companies jump into VR
[ad_1] Take Ovation, for example: It’s a public speaking training tool that uses the Vive Pro Eye’s gaze-tracking to detect where exactly you’re looking. After running through a demo, it told me I was staring at the teleprompter, instead of looking at the audience. (In fairness, I wasn’t prepared to recite a speech during a […]
HTC Vive Pro Eye is now out in North America for $1,599
[ad_1] HTC said it decided build a device with eye tracking after getting requests from enterprise customers that use VR to train employees and test new ideas and products.

Sprint turns on 5G service in four cities
[ad_1] Service should expand in the “coming weeks” to include parts of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, DC. You can also expect the Galaxy S10 5G to arrive sometime in the summer. As with deployments at other carriers, there are going to be plenty of caveats. Coverage is still likely to […]
