Although HTC has not hinted at Vive2, since April 2016, the company is continuing to make subtle improvements to its head. In addition to a 15% reduction in weight, the latest headline also includes adjusted SteamVR base stations and redesigned packaging. HTC last week celebrated the first anniversary of Vive's IPO, offering a $100 Vive system. If you participate in this anniversary event, you may even get the latest Vive headline. Last week, we also reported that the latest Vive has reduced the weight at the time of publication by 15%. Now we also understand some of the extra changes that have appeared in the latest developments. According to Roadtovr's confirmation, the latest Vive heads contain the adjusted base stations. It should be noted that these base stations are not the redesigned base stations that Valve referred to this year, but the subtle design of infrared LED arrays necessary for the SteamVR tracking system to operate. It has been observed that Vive previously had a 15-LED array with the base station. If you look closely at the black transparent panel of the base station, you can find them. The adjusted base station has a strictly aligned 9-LED array. In addition to this, we have not found any other visual differences and may have some internal differences that we have not found. Why change? We consulted HTC, but they have not given us a specific answer. When we asked about the changes in the base station, an HTC spokesperson told us: “You may know that we are constantly updating the hardware, but we have not issued a specific announcement.†One guess is that infrared LEDs may be brighter, which may mean increased tracking range. However, in the actual comparison, we found that the new LED is not really bright, but only emits more light in the visible spectrum. Alan Yates, a Valve engineer who designed the SteamVR tracking system, once said that the bottleneck of the system's tracking range is the LED (a flash as a sync pulse that can serve as a consistent time reference, which is a critical part of the tracking calculation). In the case of ensuring eye safety, the laser can emit a long distance, but the LED can not, it is not clear because of eye safety or the LED itself. Thanks to the help of developer Craig Albert, we were able to use the new base station for basic ranging. We took the Vive controller and moved back to the base station until the tracking failed. During the test, the new base station seems to have one more tracking distance than the old base station, but considering the imprecision of the test, we suspect that it may be caused by the error of the test. Even if the tracking range is not changed, another potential change may be to reduce costs. We can see that the use of fewer LEDs, coupled with less solder to the board, will reduce these costs. For example, each LED takes 2 cents to buy and solder. When the base station has 15 LEDs and sold 500,000 Vives, it has spent $300,000 for LEDs. If it is 9 LEDs, then the cost will be reduced by 120,000 US dollars. While creating the tracking system, SteamVR tracking base stations have seen many design iterations (including changing LED counts and layouts). The above picture shows three different configurations of pre-release prototypes. New packaging The latest Vive has also redesigned the packaging and is now more compact, with a more portable carrying case handle. Compared to the original packaging, the latest boxes cleverly placed the controllers together, and the previous large amount of foam was chipped away. Now all the components are more compactly put together. Many of the cables and adapters that connect boxes and systems are hidden underneath the main components. This time, the lids can be securely locked together by the top flaps. The top flaps have a projection that fits into the side of the box. The box contains all the components of the Vive, and the inside is divided into two parts. There is a plastic handle on the top of the new box, which is a very good design for people who often need to go out and carry.
