Total immersion: HTC Vive Deluxe Audio Strap release date announced
Comfort and sound are major components in immersive virtual reality, and HTC's latest product is focusing on just that with the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap, which hits stores next month on June 6.
Essentially a pair of earphones built into a HTC Vive headband, the Deluxe Audio Strap gives users a way to enjoy VR further without the need for an extra pair of third-party headphones on their head.
In addition to the added comfort (and subtracted cables) of using the Deluxe Audio Strap, HTC claims that the adjustable earphones also make VR easier to step in and out of by giving users the ability to raise or lower the speakers without taking anything off, should someone need their attention.
The Vive Deluxe Audio Strap costs $99.99 (£99.99, about AU$130) and will be available both from Vive's own website and other retailers set up to sell Vive products.
On the topic of VR accessories, a pair of special eye-tracking lenses have also been revealed by a third-party company for the HTC Vive, set for a fall international release. The lenses help your headset fully render only where you're looking rather than an entire environment, potentially lowering the computing power and cost-of-entry usually demanded by VR.
