HTC Vive Cosmos

The "space" VR headset under the sign of the Taiwanese brand HTC is designed to bring virtual reality technology to the masses. The model is designed to work in conjunction not only with a PC, but also with smartphones, which opens up new horizons for using a VR helmet.

Spatial orientation

There is no need to "dance with a tambourine" to connect and configure HTC Vive Cosmos glasses, since all sensors are concentrated inside the headset. For example, a quartet of spatial orientation cameras (two “eyes” on the front panel and a couple of lenses on the sides) is responsible for the accuracy of tracking movements and, accordingly, the depth of immersion in the worlds of virtual reality. They also track the position of the glowing rings on the hand controllers, which are worn on both wrists of the user.

Developed ergonomics

The headset is connected to the PC via a wire. In terms of ergonomics, the brainchild of HTC is ahead of the rest: a comfortable “fit” for a VR helmet, flexible adjustment of the position of the headphones and a quick-release design for a quick return to the real world are just a small fraction of the positive qualities of the model in terms of operating comfort.

Vive Reality Platform

The experience of interacting with the helmet from the first minutes of use is designed to facilitate the Vive Reality platform, which provides new ways to display content. The software shell brings together an intuitive user interface, Mozilla's built-in VR browser, digital storefront, and social services under its wing. The model costs a lot, but the price tag in this case is fully justified by the depth of immersion in virtual worlds, taking into account the ease of handling the headset.
