HTC Vive Focus Plus Price
HTC entered the VR headset market in 2016 with the first generation of HTC Vive, which came for $799 with a broader feature set. This stand-alone headset relied on SteamVR valve tracking technology to function. However, all HTC headsets marketed since 2016 with the exception of Vive Pro no longer rely on this technology.
