HTC has announced that it is working on a new AR/VR headset that is meant to be a standalone device, in the vein of the popular Meta Quest 2. The headset was announced via The Verge, and more details are set to be revealed during CES in January.

While HTC hasn’t gone in-depth into revealing the features of its new VR headset, the company has revealed that it will make use of cameras on the outer shell of the headset for purposes of tracking and mixed-reality experiences.

HTC global head of product Shen Ye has also revealed that the new headset won’t be as competitively priced as the Meta Quest 2.

We’re in an era when consumer VR headsets have been massively subsidized by companies that are trying to vacuum up and take personal data to provide to advertisers,” Ye said to The Verge. “We don’t believe the way that we want to approach it is to compromise on privacy.”

HTC’s last major VR headset, the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite, was released back in 2020.
