After more than three years following the release of the original, HTC has announced the upcoming release of its HTC Vive Pro 2. The second-gen Vive Pro looks a lot like its predecessor, but nearly every core spec has been upgraded in some way. HTC’s latest high-end consumer VR headset sports a 5K resolution (2.5K to each eye), a wider 120-degree field of view, and a faster 120Hz refresh rate, all of which combines to prevent the motion sickness that people sometimes encounter on less sophisticated head-mounted displays, HTC said. The company also said it moved over to a new display with fast-switching RGB sub-pixels, so in addition to more resolution, graphics on the Vive Pro 2 should look extra sharp and colorful.

HTC worked with both Nvidia and AMD to add support for Display Stream Compression via DisplayPort 1.2, which is a visual compression technique used to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed to output video with practically no loss in image quality. It should be noted that this is a first for a VR headset. The HTC Vive Pro 2 is built with 3D spatial sound capability for soundscapes that users find make VR environments more immersive. The headset features a handy knob for adjusting IPD (interpupillary distance), along with a revamped headband that delivers a more comfortable fit and a 50-50 weight balance. The Vive Pro 2 is now available for pre-order for all people who are itching to have a more immersive VR experience.
