According to The Verge, HTC announced this week that it is expanding its range of Virtual Reality headsets with four new variants on the original Vive Cosmos series. The updated lineup features new faceplates and some other interesting elements. Otherwise, according to reviewers, not much else has changed from the original series. With that in mind, is the new HTC Vive Cosmos Series a good buy? Let’s inspect the latest headsets.

The high-end Cosmos Elite offers precise gaming

The Verge mentions that the Cosmos Elite headset is the range’s highest price point. It’s for VR enthusiasts who want a high-quality gaming experience. For now, it seems to be an upgrade from the original Vive and features a faceplate that uses external tracking and two lighthouse base stations. So sensors monitor movements from both the headset and controllers. The headset’s external tracking is more precise, and HTC seems to want to position the Cosmos Elite as an option for advanced PC VR games. HTC says the Cosmos Elite will be available later in the first quarter of 2020 with preorders starting on February 24, 2020.
