According to VR-specialized media Road to VR , HTC has submitted documents to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about the new VR headset ahead of its online event scheduled for October 14. It has already been approved by the FCC. The FCC is tasked with proving that products containing electromagnetic radiation are safe and compliant, and FCC approval means that the sale of the product is one step closer to sale.

In addition, HTC completed the trademark registration of the name 'VIVE FLOW' in August, and the theme of the online event is 'Go with the Flow', so multiple media including Road to VR said 'HTC is I think we are planning to announce a new VR headset called 'VIVE Flow' at an online event. '

In addition, Road to VR and others speculate that the shape of VIVE Flow will be similar to the smart glass prototype 'Project Proton ' announced by HTC in early 2020 from the HTC's picture. The image of Project Proton is below.



Also, from the photos released by HTC for the event, the new device that seems to appear is a compact one that fits in a black case, not useful

when eating popcorn or meditating. I'm guessing UploadVR from overseas media.



According to a source told the overseas media Protocol, the VIVE Flow chipset is

inferior to the Oculus VR headset 'Oculus Quest2 ', and it does not come with a controller, but it has 6Dof degrees of freedom. Therefore, it is said that the immersive feeling is higher than the Oculus Go, which was discontinued in June 2020. In addition, since HTC has been promoting the concept of a metaverse 'Viveport Verse' that can be accessed from multiple devices, Protocol says that it is making ambitious efforts to build a virtual world with 'VIVE Flow and Viveport Verse'. It seems. '
