We really don’t know much about this headset, but HTC is rumoured to be working on a wireless version Oculus VR is also working on a standalone version of the Rift, and even Google is thought to be making a cord-free VR/AR headset. It’s unclear if the next Vive will be standalone or simply a slimmer and lighter version, but a new one is probably coming, and it might launch at the end of 2016. But that’s just speculation.
HTC could unveil even the headset at CES 2017. Stay tuned to Pocket-lint’s HTC hub for all the latest.
