The HTC Vive Focus 3 (marketed by HTC as the VIVE Focus 3) is a standalone virtual reality head-mounted display for business use. HTC announced it at its VIVECON 2021 conference on 11 May 2021 and put it on sale on 27 June 2021 at US$1,300, £1,060 or €1,180 (excluding VAT), a price that included the VIVE Business Warranty and Services.[1] Road to VR reported that the included warranty ran for two years.[2]
The headset runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chip with 8 GB of RAM and has two 2448 x 2448 pixel LCD panels, a 90 Hz refresh rate and a field of view that HTC gives as up to 120 degrees.[3] It tracks itself and its controllers with four onboard cameras, and its 26.6 Wh battery sits in the rear of the headstrap, where it acts as a counterweight and can be removed and swapped.[3] HTC launched the device together with the PC-based HTC Vive Pro 2, which uses the same display resolution, and with VIVE Business, a set of device management, app store, training and PC streaming tools.[1]
According to UploadVR, HTC sold the Focus 3 only to businesses.[4] Over its life it gained hand tracking, Wi-Fi 6E streaming, large-area tracking modes for location-based entertainment, OpenXR support (as a public beta from April 2022) and add-on eye, face and wrist trackers. In September 2024 HTC announced the HTC Vive Focus Vision, which UploadVR described as a refresh of the Focus 3.[4] As of September 2026, HTC's US product page still lists the Focus 3 at US$1,300 with a "Contact Sales" option.[5]
Announcement and release
HTC presented the Vive Focus 3 at VIVECON 2021, which the company described as its first global VIVECON event, and issued the announcement from Seattle on 11 May 2021.[1] It was announced alongside the Vive Pro 2 PC VR headset; both were marketed with "5K" resolution (2.5K per eye) and a 120 degree field of view.[1] HTC chairwoman and CEO Cher Wang said the company had "designed these premium headsets from the ground up" after listening to business customers.[1]
The Focus 3 is HTC's third standalone VR headset, after the original HTC Vive Focus and the HTC Vive Focus Plus. Tom's Hardware noted that it was the first of the three to receive an official Western release.[6] At US$1,300 it cost considerably more than the Vive Focus Plus and the business edition of the Oculus Quest 2, which Road to VR listed at US$800 each.[2]
On 25 June 2021, two days before release, HTC published a teardown of a pre-production unit presented by Shen Ye, then head of global hardware products at HTC Vive.[7] The headset went on sale on 27 June 2021.[1]
Design and hardware
Display and optics
The Focus 3 has two 2.88-inch LCD panels, each with a resolution of 2448 x 2448 pixels (4896 x 2448 combined), running at 90 Hz.[3] HTC says the fast-switching panels use real RGB subpixels, "practically eliminating the screen door effect".[1] According to UploadVR, the same panels are used in the Vive Pro 2, which runs them at 120 Hz, and at announcement the Focus 3 had the highest resolution of any standalone headset UploadVR knew of.[8]
HTC describes the optics as a "new bespoke dual stacked-lens design" shared with the Vive Pro 2.[8] Road to VR lists them as dual-element Fresnel lenses.[2] HTC gives the field of view as up to 120 degrees and clarified in an update to Road to VR's announcement report that this figure is horizontal.[3][2] In a 2022 comparison table, UploadVR listed the field of view as 116 x 96 degrees.[9] Lens separation is adjusted by hand with a dial under the visor across an interpupillary distance range of 57 to 72 mm.[3][6] The 150 mm wide facial interface is designed to fit over wide eyeglasses.[3]
Processor, memory and cooling
The headset uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2, the same chip as the Oculus Quest 2.[6] HTC says the XR2 gives twice the CPU and GPU performance and 11 times the AI processing of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 used in the original Vive Focus.[1] It has 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB of storage, with a microSD slot that supports cards up to 2 TB.[9][3] According to Tom's Hardware, which initially missed it, the unmarked card slot is under the face cushion near the left side of the headset.[6]
For cooling, the Focus 3 has a copper heat pipe and a fan.[1] Road to VR reported that the active cooling system uses a 15 W heat pipe.[2] HTC told Tom's Hardware that it added the fan to get higher sustained performance from the chip, a claim the publication said it could not verify.[6] Tom's Hardware reported that the fan can be heard while the headset runs and pushes a slight breeze into the visor that can dry out the eyes during long sessions.[6]
Tracking and controllers
Four cameras on the visor handle inside-out tracking of the headset and controllers, with no external base stations.[2] HTC says tracking data is stored in encrypted form on the headset, and it recommends a play space of up to 10 x 10 m, with a minimum of 1.5 x 1.5 m for standing use.[1][3] Tom's Hardware found tracking accuracy "at least on par with the Quest 2", with blind spots only behind the user.[6]
The Focus 3 controllers replaced the ultrasonic controllers of the Focus Plus. Like the Oculus Touch controllers, they have infrared LEDs under a tracking ring that the headset cameras follow.[2][8] Each controller has a thumbstick, trigger, grip button, two face buttons (A/B or X/Y) and a system or menu button. Hall sensors sit on the trigger and grip, and capacitive sensors on the trigger, joystick and thumb rest.[3] The batteries are built in, charge over USB-C and are rated by HTC for up to 15 hours.[3]
Battery and power
The 26.6 Wh battery uses lithium-polymer gel chemistry and is mounted in the rear of the headstrap.[3] HTC says it can be changed in seconds and fast-charges to 50 percent in 30 minutes, and it rates the headset for up to 2 hours of continuous use.[1][5] In the teardown, Shen Ye said the gel design makes the battery more resistant to leaks and swelling than conventional lithium-polymer cells.[7] At the announcement Road to VR reported that the headset must be powered down to change the battery.[2] A button on the battery pack switches the headset on and off and lights four LEDs to show the charge level. The battery charges through a barrel connector with the same 12 V adapter HTC used for its earlier headsets.[6]
Audio
The headstrap holds two open-back speakers, each with a pair of drivers. HTC says they do not touch the ears, so users stay aware of their surroundings, and that an audio privacy setting reduces how much people nearby can hear.[1] There is a Hi-Res certified 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones and two microphones with echo cancellation.[3]
Build and ergonomics
The frame is made of magnesium alloy, which HTC says is 20 percent lighter and 500 percent stronger than traditional plastics.[1] Tom's Hardware lists the weight as 785 g with the battery.[6] HTC says the rear-mounted battery gives a near 50-50 front-to-back weight balance.[3] The front gasket and rear padding attach magnetically and have easy-to-clean PU leather trim, so they can be swapped or cleaned between users, and a quick-release button loosens the headstrap.[3][1] Tom's Hardware wrote that the strap sits "more like a baseball cap" on top of the head rather than cupping the back of the skull as earlier Vive headsets did.[6]

Software and features
Operating system and business tools
The Focus 3 is built on Android and uses an interface HTC calls VIVE Reality System 2.0, designed for enterprise users who may be new to VR.[1][2] Developers build for it with HTC's VIVE Wave SDK; The Ghost Howls reported in July 2021 that building hand-tracked Unity apps for the Focus 3 required version 4.1.0 or later of the Wave XR plugin.[10] HTC opened an OpenXR public beta for the Focus 3 on 13 April 2022.[11]
The launch software bundle, VIVE Business, has five parts:[1]
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| VIVE Business Device Management System | ISO-certified mobile device management for checking headset status, installing apps and updating software remotely; the Focus 3 also works with Android Enterprise MDM tools |
| VIVE Business AppStore | Curated store of business apps for training, communication and visualization |
| VIVE Business Training | Lets a trainer follow each trainee's progress from an Android device |
| VIVE Business Streaming | Connects the headset to a PC to run PC VR content; cable at launch, wireless later |
| VIVE Sync | Meeting and collaboration app with Pro and Enterprise versions for groups of up to 30 people |
HTC told Road to VR that 20 apps would be in the AppStore at launch and that 50 developers had signed up.[2] The Device Management System can also manage headsets from other vendors, according to HTC.[2] Businesses could also buy the headset for a one-off cost and use it without VIVE Business services.[1] The settings include a Kiosk Mode that starts the headset directly into one or more apps without giving users access to the menu or the full content library.[6]
PC VR streaming
VIVE Business Streaming runs PC VR applications, including SteamVR and Viveport content, Unreal Engine and Unity, on the headset over a USB cable or Wi-Fi.[12] HTC recommends a USB 3.0 Type-C cable, such as its own VIVE Streaming Cable.[12] In its June 2021 review of the business edition, The Ghost Howls reported that one application handled both tethered and wireless streaming, that the streaming feature was free, and that wireless streaming was still in beta. The reviewer found wired latency higher than that of Oculus Link.[13] Engadget's reviewer found the software "very picky", as it did not recognize any of the USB cables he tried.[14]
Hand tracking
At the announcement HTC said controller-free hand tracking would be in beta at launch, with a wide release expected in the third quarter of 2021.[2] By early July 2021 HTC had released a preview Unity package that let developers build hand-tracked apps for the Focus 3, though the feature was not yet enabled in the system interface.[10] On 30 November 2021 firmware version 3.0.999.284 upgraded the hand tracking engine, improving fast-movement tracking and pinch accuracy and adding hand tracking during room setup.[15] The system uses a 26-point skeletal hand model, supports six predefined gestures for developers and is OpenXR compliant, according to HTC.[15]
Passthrough
The Focus 3 has black-and-white passthrough.[9] UploadVR noted that it is monoscopic, "meaning there's no sense of depth at all".[9] The Ghost Howls compared it to the passthrough of the original Oculus Quest, with a wrong sense of scale, and reported that passthrough was not available to developers through the SDK at launch.[13]
Location-based entertainment update
On 11 November 2021 HTC announced features for location-based customers:[16]
- LBE Mode raised the maximum tracked area from 15 x 15 m at launch to 33 x 30 m, about 1,000 m2, with custom boundary shapes.[16]
- Map Sharing lets one headset set up a map and share it with others, so that several headsets track in the same space without individual calibration.[16] UploadVR wrote that this made HTC the first to bring colocation to standalone VR.[17]
- Visual Odometry (VO) Mode skips the environment setup and starts 6DoF tracking as soon as the headset is put on; LBE Hybrid Mode combines VO and LBE modes.[16]
- A Focus 3 version of the open-source OpenVR Space Calibrator lets a Vive Tracker be aligned with the Focus 3 tracking space when streaming PC VR.[16]
HTC also said the headset had shipped with all the hardware needed for Wi-Fi 6E and that 6 GHz support would be turned on through over-the-air updates once certified, subject to local regulation.[16]
Accessories
| Accessory | Announced | Launch price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIVE Wrist Tracker | January 2022 (CES) | US$129 / €129 / £119 | Worn on the wrist or fixed to objects; tracked by the headset cameras through infrared LEDs; 63 g; up to four hours of use[18] |
| Vive Focus 3 Eye Tracker | September 2022 | US$250 | Magnetic insert with infrared illuminators and two cameras; works within the headset's normal IPD range[19] |
| Vive Focus 3 Facial Tracker | September 2022 | US$100 | Single 60 Hz camera attached to the USB-C port; captures 38 blend shapes of the lower face[19] |
| VIVE Ultimate Tracker | November 2023 | US$199 per unit | Self-tracking body and object tracker; at launch it worked with the Focus 3 and XR Elite; needs a separate Wireless Dongle[20] |
| Battery for VIVE Focus Series | Spare headset battery, also compatible with the Focus Vision[21] |
Alongside the Wrist Tracker at CES 2022, HTC showed a charging travel case and a multi-battery charging dock for the Focus 3.[18] Developers can use the eye and face trackers through the VIVE Wave SDK, with Unity, Unreal Engine and native integration; Road to VR reported that OpenXR support was to follow.[19] In a 2022 comparison, UploadVR noted that the Focus 3 has no built-in eye or face tracking, unlike the Meta Quest Pro and Pico 4 Enterprise, which have eye tracking built in.[9]
Use in location-based entertainment
In May 2022 Zero Latency, which Road to VR described as one of the longest-running attractions in out-of-home VR, announced that it was replacing the backpack PCs and HP Reverb headsets in its system with standalone Vive Focus 3 headsets. PC-rendered content is streamed to them over a local Wi-Fi 6E network.[22] Road to VR pointed to the swappable battery as one of the headset's advantages for out-of-home use, since batteries can be charged separately and swapped, which reduces the number of headsets an operator needs.[22]
Comparison with business headsets
UploadVR compared the Focus 3 with the business versions of other standalone headsets at its announcement in 2021 and again in October 2022.[8][9]
| Headset | Per-eye resolution | Lenses | Lens separation | Passthrough | Business price (as listed by UploadVR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HTC Vive Focus 3 | 2448 x 2448 | Fresnel | 57-72 mm, manual | Grayscale | US$1,300 (2021); US$1,300/US$1,400 (2022)[8][9] |
| Oculus Quest 2 (2021) | 1832 x 1920 | 3 steps (58/63/68 mm) | US$799[8] | ||
| Pico Neo 3 Pro (2021) | 1832 x 1920 | 3 steps (58/63/68 mm) | US$699[8] | ||
| Pico 4 Enterprise (2022) | 2160 x 2160 | Pancake | 62-72 mm, automatic | Color | €900[9] |
| Meta Quest Pro (2022) | 1800 x 1920 | Pancake | 58-70 mm, guided manual | Depth-correct color | US$1,500/US$1,800[9] |
Reception
Tom's Hardware gave the Focus 3 an Editor's Choice award. Kevin Carbotte called it "the best standalone headset that we've tested", praising the screens, performance, field of view and tracking, but regretted that HTC did not sell it to consumers.[6] He listed the balanced weight, moisture-proof materials, microSD slot and replaceable battery as strengths, and the price and mediocre controller ergonomics as weaknesses. He also found that the lenses produced "very noticeable godray refractions".[6]
Engadget's Devindra Hardawar wrote that "the Quest 2 is still the standalone VR headset most consumers should buy", but that "the Focus 3 is perfect for businesses looking for something a bit more sturdy and powerful." He found the controllers more awkward than the Quest 2's in long sessions and called the Viveport software library "practically anemic" compared with Oculus's.[14] The Ghost Howls' reviewer praised the speakers and the front-to-back balance, but reported that the cooling fan was noisy and that the battery lasted about two hours.[13]
In a July 2022 review, Benjamin Danneberg of MIXED rated comfort and tracking good to excellent. He reported that glare and god rays from the Fresnel lenses made high-contrast scenes "very choppy", reported battery life of around two hours with about one hour to recharge, and noted noticeable latency in passthrough mode. He recommended the Focus 3 for business use and judged it too expensive for most consumers.[23]
Successor
HTC announced the HTC Vive Focus Vision on 18 September 2024. According to UploadVR, it keeps the Focus 3's rear battery design, 2.5K LCD panels, Fresnel lenses and first-generation Snapdragon XR2, and adds eye tracking, color passthrough and DisplayPort PC VR through an adapter. Unlike the Focus 3, it is also sold to consumers.[4]
