HTC Vive Pre is the second Vive development kit. The headset has been introduced at CES 2016, and it adds a front-facing pass-through camera used for object and boundary recognition. It solves the problem of real space navigation while immersed in a virtual reality. Recognized objects are represented in user's field of view as glowing outlines and silhouettes. It is now entirely possible to change position from standing to sitting on a chair, walk from object to object in real world, and safely take advantage of all space that the room users play in provides. | HTC Vive Pre is the second Vive development kit.

The system has two modes of operation. In the first mode, the Vive is inactive until users get close to a wall or an obstacle. The headset then shows a glimpse of the real world to give users enough time to react and avoid any obstacle. The second mode is activated by double-tapping a menu button on the controller. In this mode, users see an instant view of all their surrounding. | |||
The only remaining problem and potential danger is the attached cord. Unfortunately, Chaperone does not detect the cord, and it is possible for users to trip over it and fall. | |||
