Play SteamVR Games with VIVE Focus Vision Headset

VIVE Focus Vision, the latest addition to the award-winning headset series, is fully compatible with SteamVR, opening the door for gamers to enjoy an extensive library of PC VR games free of base station constraints.  

PC-to-Headset Streaming via DisplayPort Support

Connecting to SteamVR takes just a few simple steps. First, download the SteamVR app, which is free but only available for PCs. Hence, for a hybrid standalone headset such as VIVE Focus Vision, PC streaming capability is a prerequisite for PC VR gaming and other graphics-intensive content. 

The VIVE Streaming software features both wired and wireless connectivity, arming VIVE Focus Vision with the power of PC VR as well as the ability to roam freely without cable constraints. This proprietary technology now supports DisplayPort mode (only available on VIVE Focus Vision) to deliver visually lossless graphics and remarkably low-latency data transmission essential for smooth, responsive gaming.  

Whether it's action-packed titles like Arizona Sunshine or more serene experiences like The Lab, the graphics pop in a way that heightens your sense of presence in immersive environments.

One Cutting-Edge Headset, Two Vast Game Libraries

In addition to SteamVR, VIVE Focus Vision owners also have access to VIVEPORT for more fan-favorite titles ranging from AAA games to indie hits. Together, the two game platforms boast an impressive selection of experiences guaranteed to satisfy all gaming needs.  

With the DisplayPort-compatible streaming capability, VIVE Focus Vision is well-equipped to provide the visual feasts the game developers intended for players.  


More Gaming-Friendly Features 

Beyond its compatibility with SteamVR, VIVE Focus Vision packs advanced tracking specifications that elevate gameplay. Let's explore two standout features: built-in eye tracking and full-body tracking support.

Built-in Eye Tracking: Eye tracking in VR is no longer a futuristic dream—it's here and built right into the VIVE Focus Vision headset.

Eye tracking allows the headset to follow your gaze and adjust the virtual environment in real-time. This improves immersion and realism, as well as enhances gameplay mechanics. For instance, eye tracking can be applied to select menu options, aim more precisely in games, and even affect character interactions. 

Another benefit of eye tracking is foveated rendering. It’s a technology that concentrates the processing power on the graphics at the center of a player’s line of vision, greatly improving a headset’s performance. 

VIVE Focus Vision incorporates infrared illuminators, cameras, and computer vision. This makes gaze input, expressive avatar eye movements, and optimized performance possible.

Full-Body Tracking Support: VIVE Focus Vision supports the revolutionary VIVE Ultimate Tracker (sold separately) for unmatched precision in full-body tracking. With a wireless dongle, the headset can pair with up to five trackers for an entirely new dimension of interaction in virtual reality. Whether a player is kicking, dodging, or dancing, full-body tracking ensures that the entire body’s movements are mirrored accurately in the game. 

Imagine playing VR sports where every body part needs to move to score, engaging in rhythm games that require intensive maneuvers, or meeting new people in VRChat. With VIVE Focus Vision, the user's representation isn't just a pair of floating hands or a stiff, expressionless avatar—it's a fully realized digital presence. 

The Best of Both Worlds

VIVE Focus Vision is a VR headset that bridges the gap between all-in-one convenience and PC-powered gameplay. Compatible with SteamVR and DisplayPort data transfer, it unlocks access to an immense library of games. With features like eye tracking, full-body tracking support, and top-tier performance, the hybrid standalone device is tailored for gamers of all varieties. 

Whether a player is stepping into the vast world of SteamVR for the first time or a seasoned veteran, VIVE Focus Vision will surely deliver a fun-filled experience.
