A new trailer for the HTC Vive debuted this weekend, during the 2016 Mobile World Congress, giving consumers a new look at the consumer-ready headset before Vive bundles begin shipping in April.
Unfortunately, our latest look at the HTC Vive doesn’t tell us anything about the unreleased virtual reality headset that we didn’t already know. The device’s latest trailer doesn’t include narration of any kind, nor does it include any form of text other than the official Vive logo. Instead, the short clip offers fan a close-up view of the frame and adjustable headband to give fans some idea of what they’ll be shelling out cash for at the end of the month.
For those who may have forgotten, or missed the news entirely, a new trailer wasn’t all we heard from the Vive camp this weekend. In addition to releasing a new trailer, HTC used its Mobile World Congress presentation to announce pricing and pre-order details for the first round of HTC Vive bundles. Those willing to shell out $799 (plus tax/shipping) will receive the Vive, 2 motion controllers and a pair of cameras used to establish the Vive’s virtual playspace. Orders are scheduled to begin on Feb. 29 with the first headsets rolling out to consumers sometime in April.
If you’re one of the folks thinking about becoming an HTC Vive early adopter, or just want a quick look at the headset, take a minute to watch HTC’s latest advertisement for the device. Then head down to the comments section and let us know why you are (or aren’t) planning to order a Vive later this month.
