Frequently asked questions
Compatibility & Setup
What is the VIVE Focus Vision and who is it for?
VIVE Focus Vision is a hybrid, VR headset that functions both
as a standalone all-in-one XR device and a PC VR headset. It’s
designed for gamers, content creators, and VRChat enthusiasts
who want high-quality visuals, low-latency wireless gameplay,
and support for advanced tracking accessories like full-body
and face trackers. Whether you're playing SteamVR games or
exploring virtual social platforms, Focus Vision delivers
flexibility, comfort, and top-tier performance.
Is VIVE Focus Vision a standalone headset or does it
require a PC?
VIVE Focus Vision is both. It works as a fully standalone VR
headset with its own operating system and app ecosystem, and
it can also be tethered (wired or wirelessly) to a PC to run
SteamVR and other PC-based content. This hybrid design lets
users switch between mobile convenience and high-performance
PC VR.
Which full-body trackers are compatible with VIVE Focus
Vision?
VIVE Focus Vision supports full-body tracking through VIVE
Ultimate Trackers featuring inside-out tracking, no base
stations required. Full-body tracking support is dependent on
content compatibility.
Can I use VIVE Focus Vision for VRChat full-body
avatars?
Yes, VIVE Focus Vision can be used for full-body avatars in
VRChat. When connected to a VR-ready PC running SteamVR, you
can use VIVE Ultimate Trackers. These trackers connect
wirelessly via the VIVE Wireless Dongle and do not require
base stations. They can be used in both standalone and PC VR
modes, depending on content compatibility. Ensure that VRChat
or any other application you intend to use supports full-body
tracking with the chosen setup, as functionality is dependent
on content compatibility.
When the VIVE Wireless Dongle is plugged into the PC, VIVE Ultimate Trackers must be paired through SteamVR via VIVE Hub.
When the VIVE Wireless Dongle is plugged into the PC, VIVE Ultimate Trackers must be paired through SteamVR via VIVE Hub.
Can I use VIVE Focus Vision without external base
stations?
Yes. VIVE Focus Vision uses inside-out tracking, so external
base stations are not required for general use. This applies
to standalone VR experiences and even full-body tracking if
you’re using VIVE Ultimate Trackers.
Do I need the Wired Streaming Kit to use VIVE Focus
Vision?
No, the
VIVE Wired Streaming Kit
is not required. The headset supports wireless PC streaming
via VIVE Hub, allowing you to connect without cables. However,
the VIVE Wired Streaming Kit is a must have for DisplayPort
streaming, which delivers the best performance available, even
better than USB-C streaming, with visually lossless graphics,
reduced latency, and stable performance. It is especially
recommended for graphics-intensive games or when Wi-Fi
conditions are poor.
Tracking Technology & Performance
Is the VIVE Focus Vision comfortable?
Yes. VIVE Focus Vision is designed for extended use with
balanced weight distribution: the rear-mounted battery offsets
front heaviness, while built-in cooling fans help prevent heat
buildup. The face padding is removable and washable, and the
headset adjusts easily to different head shapes for comfort
across long sessions.
Does VIVE Focus Vision have built-in face tracking?
No, VIVE Focus Vision does not include built-in face tracking
by default. However, it is compatible with the
Facial Tracker for VIVE Focus Series, which can be purchased separately and connected easily. The
facial tracker captures real-time movements of your lips, jaw,
cheeks, and more at 60Hz, great for expressive avatars in
social VR apps like VRChat.
Is eye tracking built into VIVE Focus Vision?
Yes. VIVE Focus Vision features integrated eye tracking along
with automatic IPD (interpupillary distance) adjustment. This
ensures a sharper, more comfortable visual experience by
adapting the lens spacing to your unique eye position. Eye
tracking also enhances UI interaction, foveated rendering, and
personalized content in supported apps.
What is eye tracking used for in VR apps and games?
Eye tracking in VR enhances social expression by powering more
realistic eye movement in avatars, and also enables natural UI
navigation by letting you select or highlight objects with
your gaze.
What is the display resolution and field of view of the
VIVE Focus Vision?
VIVE Focus Vision features a 2448 x 2448 pixels per eye (4896
x 2448 pixels combined) using fast-switch LCD panels,
delivering sharp visuals and vibrant detail. The headset also
offers a maximum field of view (FoV) of 120°, providing an
immersive, wide-angle experience ideal for gaming, creation,
and social VR.
Use Cases & Experiences
Can I play SteamVR games with VIVE Focus Vision?
Yes. VIVE Focus Vision supports SteamVR games when connected
to a compatible VR-ready PC. You can play popular VR titles
through either VIVE Hub (wireless) or the VIVE Wired Streaming
Kit (USB connection with DisplayPort support). Once connected,
the headset functions like a PC VR device, fully compatible
with the SteamVR platform.
How do I connect the VIVE Focus Vision to my PC for VR
gaming?
You can connect VIVE Focus Vision to your PC in two ways:
Wireless streaming via the
VIVE Hub
software (recommended Wi-Fi 6 or higher) and Wired streaming
using the optional VIVE Wired Streaming Kit (USB with
DisplayPort support for low-latency performance). Both methods
allow you to access SteamVR while leveraging the headset's
high-resolution display and tracking features.
What apps and games can I use with VIVE Focus Vision out of
the box?
As a standalone headset, VIVE Focus Vision gives you access to
apps and games from the VIVEPORT Store, including fitness,
productivity, and entertainment titles. When connected to a
VR-ready PC, you can access thousands of additional games via
SteamVR, expanding your library with top VR titles like
Half-Life: Alyx, Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber, and VRChat.
Support & Battery
What is the battery life on VIVE Focus Vision?
VIVE Focus Vision delivers up to 2 hours of active playtime,
depending on usage intensity and features enabled (such as eye
tracking or wireless streaming). The rear-mounted battery is
hot-swappable, with a built-in reserve that provides 15–20
minutes of extended standby while you swap packs. It also
supports fast charging, reaching up to 50% in about 30 minutes
with the included 30W adapter. For all-day PC VR sessions, you
can pair VIVE Focus Vision with the VIVE Wired Streaming Kit,
which helps maintain the headset’s battery level during use.
Does VIVE Focus Vision have a standard warranty?
Yes. VIVE Focus Vision comes with a limited one-year warranty
for consumers, covering manufacturing defects and hardware
issues under normal use. Be sure to register your product and
review regional warranty policies on the official VIVE
website. Accessories and batteries may carry their own
warranty terms.
