HTC Is BACK For Consumers! Vive Flow - All You NEED To Know

The VIVE Flow is a new 6DOF, compact, lightweight, and portable VR headset. It can be used standalone, but there's one unexpected approach. Give it a chance as some innovations are pretty cool! I tell you all about it today.

HTC gave me a heads up on the VIVE Flow ahead of their event so I could make this video. So let’s talk about it, I’ll tell you all you need to know!

are the cameras color or B/W? If color AR can most certainly be done. If B/W like the quest & quest2 then it's just intended for tracking and standard pass through.

[nihilistryanthegamefeline]

The diopter dialer to compensate for different vision acuities is the most next-gen thing about this I think. Would love to see that become standard in all headsets.

[erqey]

I am consistently amazed by HTC's terrible business decisions.

[vroomers]

I think Oculus sent one of their workers to HTC to feed them stupid ideas. Making a VR headset for the kombucha crowd but make it for high-end Android devices only -- genius move.

[blisslife]

You had the most complete information than any of other YouTubers. Thank you for asking all the right questions😊
Controller support would be a great thing for this headset. Cheers

The vive flow makes you look like a CW villain

[kainey]

Thanks for covering this device, this is how I imagine VR in the future ! Lightweight goggles but connected with a PC instead of the phone, wirelessly via ultra fast Wifi to play with no compression and full body tracking without the need of controllers. C'mon let me dream ! 😭

[randomheroguy]

As a VR enthusiast i wasn't keeping my hopes up on this one since they already released headsets. I'm hoping Valve or Oculus put up a better problem...with an emphasis on Valve. Not interested in this product.

[jakeq]

Meh I'll stick with the Quest series

[ibunkatraining]

Really proud of you for getting into the insider track on news like this!

[SilverKing]

To be honest, I really dont get why anyone would buy this over the Quest 2? It makes too little sense. I would see this as a nice product if they actually made something more similar to the Oculus Go, with everything required built into the headset.

External battery pack, smartphone controller, I mean, its just bizarre. Its targeted at such a niche market that I honestly doubt even exist.

[clivewilliams]

This looks like a great way to watch Cas and Chary. I find my current head set feels heavy after awhile of just watch videos.

[odinsplaygrounds]

Double the price of a Quest 2, half the functionality! Seems like it is cleverly designed to piss of it's fans and be the final F U to the consumer market.

[propagandapirate]

Thanks for sharing the tech specs and your opinions, your review complimented the HTC presentation I just watched. I decided to pre-order the Flow. I'm mostly interested in the software that mentioned using peripherals like heart rate and EEG sensors for some metrics to go with mindfulness and stress reduction activities. I'm also interested to work with developers on this, if you have any references or referrals I would like to learn more, I work in Health and Wellness industry developing new medical devices.

[knight_____________]

I'll stick with the quest for now, but I'm interested to see where this is going.

[BaxornVR]

I pre ordered. I can't wait for my TV replacement.

[thieslo]

I actually really like the idea of this for consuming media. A lightweight, easy to put on device for watching movies and streaming things like netflix. I do wish it came with its own 3DOF controller similar to Go, as the biggest detractor for me (aside from price, but i would almost be willing to pay it) is the lack of a 3DOF controller. I understand wanting to utilize technology most people carry with them anyways, but I have really enjoyed my Google phones and it seems Pixel line does not support Miracast (instead using chromecast), so it seems for now you cannot use a Google phone with the vive flow.

[ZstormVR]

I was definitely ready for a 6dof media viewer. But no iPhone compatibility? And cameras but not direct AR features? And 4 hours on 10kmah? Nah I’m good.

[DiamondDepthYT]

I can imagine this with Nolo! It would be amazing for nice and lightweight VR use on the go, then you go ahead and somehow stream it to the pc along with attatch the nolo
