Decade-Long Pioneer in Extended Reality: HTC VIVE

Welcome to the world of HTC VIVE, your gateway to a life-like virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR) experience! Established in 1997, this Taiwanese powerhouse shook up the telephony and computer equipment scene. But it was in 2015 that they truly made their mark, jumping into the VR world with their first headset, HTC VIVE. Since then, they haven't looked back, revolutionizing industries with their immersive technologies, especially in the enterprise sector.

Come join us at the forthcoming our website event from April 9-11, 2025, where we'll be showcasing our innovations and partner collaborations in the immersive field.

Diving Deeper into HTC VIVE

HTC VIVE is a game-changer in the realm of XR, building an ecosystem of premium hardware, software, and content. From large-scale LBE environments to personalized training and collaborative design review, their offerings are designed to unlock the full potential of XR across industries. Their spatial platform, VIVERSE, makes 3D content creation a breeze for gaming and 3D e-commerce. On the other hand, G REIGNS, HTC's portable private 5G solution, offers secure, low-latency connectivity for scalable deployments.

What's on Display at our website?

At our website, we're bringing our ecosystem together on full display. Expect to find hardware, accessories, software, 3D platforms, and network connectivity solutions that demonstrate the limitless potential of our end-to-end solutions. Our event serves as a fantastic platform for us to integrate with our partners across the show floor, demonstrating the breadth of our immersive ecosystem built over the last decade.

And, while we don't want to spill all the beans, we can tell you that some of our partners will be making exciting announcements at the event, leveraging VIVE technology to create groundbreaking new XR solutions. We can't wait to share more with you!

Planned Activities and Demos

This year, our presence at our website will be our biggest yet, with plenty in store for visitors. At our booth, you can expect exclusive experiences, the first European showcase of the incredible LBE, "Finding Vincent" with Univrse, powered by VIVE Focus 3 in a 220m2 space. This immersive journey transports visitors to 19th-century France to explore stunningly recreated streets and landscapes, interact with key figures, and uncover the story of the Van Gogh brothers.

Apart from that, our partners, LS Group and CEA List, Speedernet Sphere, and Inversive will be showcasing their latest offerings in enterprise XR. Expect to see immersive MR career discovery, skills training, industrial design, and simulation. Additionally, we'll be unveiling the latest advances from across the VIVE ecosystem. From VIVE Focus Vision, the future of 3D Commerce with our spatial computing platform VIVERSE, and G REIGNS portable private 5G, AI-optimized network technology for fast, secure, and reliable XR deployments.

Current Innovations

At HTC VIVE, we're continually pushing the boundaries of hardware and software innovation. Our latest headset, VIVE Focus Vision, delivers both standalone and lossless PCVR experiences through DisplayPort mode. Its rugged design and LBSS solution cater to the growing demand among LBE operators for high turnover usage.

We also believe in the potential of spatial computing platforms and virtual world creation. That's why we're working on bringing VIVERSE Worlds to market, offering simple 3D content creation across various use cases, from gaming to e-commerce, education, skills, and beyond.

Transforming the Business Field

Thanks to our rich and interactive ecosystem, we work closely with partners across various sectors, worldwide. In 2025 alone, we've seen remarkable momentum in the LBE sector, with extraordinary VR expeditions bringing history to life in new ways. VIVE's technology is helping immerse visitors in experiences like Versailles: Lost Gardens of the Sun King, The Last Stronghold: Carcassonne 1304, and Titanic: Echoes from the Past.

In addition, enterprise XR training is thriving. We're seeing more individuals train and build confidence in XR without risk, to make for safer interactions in the real world. Companies like Credit Agricole are benefiting from our XR technology, using it for staff training for managing difficult customer interactions.

Sustainability and the Environment

Sustainability and environmental concerns are front and center in this century. That's why we make conscious decisions in our design process, building with repairability in mind. For example, VIVE Focus Vision uses a similar base design to its predecessor VIVE Focus 3, making it compatible with existing accessories. Our VIVE XR Elite package minimizes the use of materials like glue and instead relies on screws. The packaging for VIVE XR Elite is made of 99% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable.

Last year, we also expanded our partnership with iFixit to cover Europe and parts of the Middle East and Africa, enabling consumers and businesses to extend the life of their out-of-warranty products. This initiative supports a more circular economy and encourages repairing rather than replacing devices. So, come join us at our website event to explore how HTC VIVE is shaping the future of immersive technologies!
