Now dubbed the Vive Cosmos Series, in addition to the standard Vive Cosmos which has been available to purchase since October 2019 for £699 GBP the family of headsets will soon include the Vive Cosmos Elite, Cosmos XR, and Cosmos Play. Each one is aimed at a different demographic, from the entry-level consumer up to enterprise use cases.

Looks like HTC has decided to take the Pimax approach to product SKUs.

What do we all think of this? I think its funny. They must be scrambling.

Elite $899 USD = What a Joke . Its basically the replacement for a vice pro.

XR No price = for mixed reality has passthrough mode

Play (no price but it would have to be the same as the index or artisan) loses 2 of its cameras( as if the tracking wasnt already bad enough, either that or they realized the 2 extra cameras the added to the cosmos at the last minute did nothing and their tracking was still crap)

At $899 for the elite, i dont see any reason you wouldn’t rather have an Index or a Pimax.

Theres nothing revolutionary about the Elite that makes it worth that price.
