HTC will not widely commercialize a planned Google Daydream headset, but released more details about the Vive Focus, a standalone VR headset with integrated positional tracking:

HTC has officially revealed the Vive Focus, its all-in-one VR headset. As previously announced, the Vive Focus runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip and uses inside-out positional tracking. It should be the first standalone six-degrees-of-freedom VR headset to see release, though HTC isn't saying exactly when it'll be available.

[...] HTC has only announced plans for the Vive Focus in China just yet, and even then there aren't any details on pricing or a release date. If you were holding out for that Vive-branded standalone Google Daydream headset, meanwhile, there's bad news — HTC and Google have cancelled their plans to bring it to the US.

    It won't be shit.

    All armies in question are H1-B scum. They're too busy doing things that H1-B scum do, namely sucking at programming. AR/VR are actually simple things to do when you have armies of programmers, but they're too busy fighting legal battles and having whites fix H1-B hires' Java-monkey mistakes.

    You made your beds, now sleep in them.
