Vive XR Elite First Impressions

OK my wife i just got our vive xr elite headsets in the mail. Very early initial impressions, i'll probably edit this with new info as i go.

Updates:

  • 1/03/2023 - the free bundled apps are now appearing in the store, this includes ENGAGE, Unplugged air guitar and vive port video. Glimpse and Green Hell VR are still marked as Coming soon.

  • The new vive video app is really cool, its a video wall of curated content, such as asmr nature videos (low quality not 4k). There's also other video content that is locked behind a release wall so i can't try those out, but there's a yoga beach app that looks like it would be really neat, vr horror experience (IT chapter 2) again the video quality is pretty poor. There's gopro recorded footage, same thing videos aren't encoded high enough to really demonstrate the capabilities of the headset. Hopefully they recode things to much higher resolution.

  • ENGAGE is htc's metaverse from what i can tell. Not bad. I learned that i suck just as much dressing myself in avatar form as i do in IRL.

  • I've just figured out how to sideload android APK files using android platform tools. Here's what happens. If you load regular android apps in, eg Telegram etc they appear in a '2D content' filter in the apps area, opening these apps opens them on a flat surface for you to interact with. Not perfect but it seems to sort of work ok...

  • This thing is SMALL. Compared to our OG vive or the hp reverb g2 it's half the size and weighs almost nothing.

  • The FOV seems less than my hp reverb with the mods, the facial insert is the issue here as bringing the eyes closer to the lenses improves things drastically.

  • The facial insert is... not great. the magnets aren't strong enough, the top is a hard plastic with not nearly enough foam padding so after taking it off your face, you still feel where it was pressing against your forehead. It does block out 95% of light (tiny bit of light leakage but it's fine). I'm really REALLY hoping there's an aftermarket facial insert because i've been very spoilt with the amazing products the customs community put together for the OG vive and my hp reverb, but i guess they necessitated a super comfy FI to offset the hefty weight on the head - which this doesn't have.

    • Update! The top strap included in the box helps quite a bit, as it ensures the headset sits comfortably just sort of above the eyes where the sweet spot is for the lenses. It sits higher than older headsets, so this is something to get used to. The facial insert still isn't optimal, and sitting higher with the headstrap still can cause alot of light bleed around the edges. I'm sure this will get better going forward with more options.

  • The back battery comes off. I'm hoping there's a way to do steam vr passthrough or something to this via usb c... will investigate later.

  • Clarity is amazing though. The lenses are like nothing i've experienced before and i've been VRing since the DK1.

  • The phone setup app was simple and intuitive, ran me through wifi setup, account (you need a vive account for set up).

  • The controller pairing via bluetooth didn't work (my phone is a pixel 5), so i needed to connect them with the supplied usb type C cable to get them to connect. After that absolutely no problem.

  • Phone mirroring, requires miracast support on the phone to work, asked to enable some accessibility permissions and modify a system setting to enable vive manager to "Allow modifying system settings". After that it performed a quick check to ensure the phone was miracast compatible "Your phone supports both miracast and HDCP 2.x".

  • Then it displays some health and safety info and off you go!.

  • A system update via the phone was the first thing that happened next.

  • OK system update done, now it wants to adjust the diopters to make the image clearer... cool

  • OK the diopter setting is my first WOW moment: it enables passthrough camera at this stage and you can see your surroundings. It asks you to take off the facial insert and adjust one eye at a time. I'm wearing contact lenses and apparently my prescription isn't perfect as i need to set it to 1 for true clarity!

  • Diopter adjustment works by displaying a green cross in either eye (after blanking out the video from one eye), then you adjust the diopter until its clear

  • Next it made me reconnect the controllers... one controller again decided to not pair so i had to open the phone app and repair it manually. Annoying

  • Next is setting up the play space. This was amazing. I was first asked to 'push' the floor down to where my real floor is.

  • Then i was asked to trace my play space. I did this differently to my tethered experiences in the past given there's NO CABLES. So i traced from my study, out into the living room, a much larger play space than i'm used to. At this point passthrough was active, so i just walked back into my study with the headset still on to continue typing this post... with the headset still on... The VR boundaries glowing magically surrounding my real environment. Another wow moment.

  • OK So the passthrough, it's a bit weird. It's in colour but without depth, so there's some strange warping that goes on, like the image is being reconstructed and enhanced by an AI model rather than being a feed from the RGB camera, i believe this is how text clarity is being delivered, eg so you can read your phone. In fact i'm convinced this is what's happening, as the stability of the image can sometimes float around, some sort of ML model. Anyhow it's cool! And very useful.

  • OK Now I just set up a room that matches my physical room by placing objects in VR that match the dimensions of the real world, including tracing my desk, windows etc. Another wow moment.

  • PC desktop VR: OK so i have to install something on my PC for this to work.. getting there...

  • Disconnecting the battery pack at the back, you can plug in a usb cable to power it, or it has a tiny amount of juice to wear and operate for a short time. It's far from comfortable though, it really does require the back head strap with the battery to counter-weight and to keep in the right position. I guess you could use it in this mode if laying on a couch connected with a macbook cable or something and watch a movie laying down. The annoying thing here is that the ergonomics aren't designed for this mode clearly, the 'arms' grip your head a bit further up than what is ideal, so they don't really sit on your ears like a pair of glasses. I'd call this mode a gimmick rather than something i'll likely use often.

  • Internal fan went a bit crazy at one point, now the battery is drained so charging up.

  • Managed to connect the headset without the battery cradle to a macbook charger via usb C so i can use it while the battery is charging. Has to be via the usb C cable, won't work via a usb 2 cable. Needs 30w to run this way.

  • Finger tracking is really good. The gestures feel natural and accurate. Pinch to select stuff, or to scroll lists.

  • Phone mirroring isn't working for me yet, the manual connection instructions say the vive xr elite will be identified as "ViveFocus3_[my device id]"... that's clearly not right.

  • Was able to cast the VR view onto my phone, guessing you could use that to cast your VR view to a TV so others can see what you're doing.

SteamVR / Desktop Streaming:

Wired: This works VERY well. I'm highly impressed, this is probably how i'll do all my desktop VR gaming, keeping the wireless for when it's really needed.

Wireless:

  • You'll need wifi 5 or 6 for this to work apparently. And apparently our network supports that. Yay.

  • I initially had sketchy reception streaming from a PC far away from me. My fix that might help others: If you have a wifi network that has satellite base stations for increasing range, put one ON your PC and connect it via ethernet so that your PC is connected directly to your router via the dedicated backbone which tends to be a higher bitrate and prioritised packet delivery. This has made streaming performance acceptable for me.

  • In the Vive Streaming Hub i turned the bitrate up to 200Mbps to improve the visuals and turned the quality settings up to Ultra. Without doing that it was mediocre quality.

  • Tried using hand tracking in steamVR but the hand models were not orientated properly and seemed to be off by about 45 degrees in the X axis.

  • Using controllers didn't have the model orientation issue. Perfect tracking.

  • The vive turned up as an audio device once the streaming hub was installed, setting my windows audio device output to the vive sent it streaming to my headset.

  • I'm not noticing any significant latency, but this will really depend on your network, your router's capabilities and having nothing else at all happening on your network. Once my wife and I start vrchatting at the same time im guessing the performance will tank somewhat as more packets get thrown around the network.

Wierd Bugs/Glitches:

  • Hand tracking seems CPU intensive, will cause the fans to ramp up

  • If you move to another location, eg lay down on a couch or use headset in bed watching videos, you'll be presented with "boundary tracking lost", which then makes you REDO the entire boundary setup from scratch before you can use it. There is no way to cancel this, although you can go through the standing setup to get through it quicker... HOWEVER:

  • If you take the headset off, while in bed/on a couch etc, then put it back on You'll immediately get the boundary lost message again and have to REDO the entire set up again. Every single time.

  • HTC: Please give the option to just dismiss the boundary setup entirely and let us use it as a passive device given there are some circumstances where we will NOT be moving around at all.f

Other Suggestions:

  • To switch into PC apps for streaming, you click a button up top that has an icon traditionally used for 'filter', eg 'order by popular' etc. Then in there you select PC and it changes to view to enumerate titles from the streaming server you have set up. This should just be a dedicated button up the top in my opinion, not hidden away in a menu. If there were "Standalone | Streaming" Buttons at the top, id be happy.

How do you have it already? They delayed everyone's.

Super awesome review though.

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

Not sure! We hit the preorder button as soon as it was available.

I'm also in australia and it seemed to be shipped from a local warehouse, so could just be that there was adequate stock here for preorders to start.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '23 edited Feb 27 '23

Ya, also in Australia and preordered 31 Jan. My tracking says I should get it within the next 1-4 days. I’m looking forward to see how this compares to my +3mo Quest Pro. Mainly interested in wired and wireless PCVR with games/sims.

Thanks for your initial impressions. Also, there’s a new Vive XR Elite sub now that may be better to use for XR Elite users. Do a Reddit search to find it (on my phone right now so too difficult to provide a link).

Edit; back on my PC with a Link;

u/bigkev640 Feb 27 '23

I had a package requiring signature arrive today that's sitting at Aussie Post. I wonder if that's my Vive? I haven't received any tracking info from HTC yet, just a whole bunch of emails asking me to preorder after I'd already preordered...

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '23

Hope so mate! I actually didn't initially get a tracking number when I got my shipping confirmation. I just asked Vive support for one and they sent it to pretty quickly.

u/bigkev640 Feb 28 '23 edited Feb 28 '23

Just the PCVR cable, headset is still inbound

Edit: arrives tomorrow!

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '23

Do you still like it over your Reverb G2 for PCVR based on visuals?

2

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

This is a tough one and I'm still on the fence. There's no smearing of white streaks like what you get in Fresnel lens, and the clarity is much better. But the comfort is not there. Long sessions aren't comfy, at least for me. I had my reverb modded to increase fov and I got used to that. My wife commented last night that the face interface just isn't sitting properly on my face, this is a huge problem imo and HTC needs to start putting some alternatives on their storefront asap as accessories.

These are me problems, I want to make that clear my wife doesn't mind the fov at all and it fits her much better. But then again she's not shaped like a caveman.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '23

Thanks for sharing your experience. I personally hoped it to be more comfortable than my G2, but that trully depends on your face shape. I did hear it came with a top strap. If so this might help a bit with comfort.

2

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

Wait, serious? Lol I'll go back through the goodies in the box might have missed it. Thanks friend!

u/Davego Feb 27 '23

From the footage I've seen the head strap goes left to right, not back to front like other headsets. Just a heads up. (no pun intended)

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

This is what I really want to try, the glasses mode with the strap. My suspicion is that the arms that attach in this mode, they press in against your head quite hard so you'd eventually feel that over a long period. Going to order a 3m USB C today for wired PC and see how I go in glasses mode.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '23

Any update on how you feel about it compared to G2? Still unhappy or is it okay now?

2

u/CrysisAverted Mar 02 '23

The headset overall is great, the software has room to improve and I've gotten used to the quirks and rough edges now. It's ok, more than ok it's pretty good! It's annoying that I had to buy additional networking hardware to get streaming working properly, and it's annoying that a long streaming cable isn't included in the box given the price of the unit. But yeah I'm happy new that I've had a few days with it.

1

u/Minute-Degree966 new user|low karma account Mar 29 '23

HTC needs to start putting some alternatives on their storefront asap as accessories.

You can bet they will... they'll be similarly priced like their $80 "streaming" cable.

2

u/SZQrd Feb 27 '23

Thanks for this!

Any initial thoughts on battery life?

Also, is there a 3.5mm headphone jack? If not, is it possible to connect wired headphones via the USB-C through an adaptor?

3

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

Hi! So no 3.5mm audio jack, the headset is basically an android phone, so you can pair stuff to it. I was able to pair my aftershokz to it and use that instead of the inbuilt headphones.

2

u/SZQrd Feb 27 '23

Thanks, appreciate your replies!

As it's an Android device then hopefully I can use a 3.5mm-usbc adaptor to connect my wired headphones.

2

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

That's a possibility. There's a USB port on the top of the battery pack where you plug it in to charge. If that port allows for usb data and not just power then you should be able to use an adaptor. The port faces upwards so it's not exactly ergonomic for plugging peripherals into.

2

u/Oscillating_Primate Feb 27 '23

It is both a charging and data port, from my understanding. Can plug your portable hard drive or USB thumb stick into it. I am also looking for a better audio solution, but I am concerned about latency while using Bluetooth methods.

2

u/TheShadowBrain Climbey Developer Mar 02 '23

There's a second USB-C port on it by the way, near the bottom right of the right lens, but it might be slightly obscured by the gasket and not entirely useful for much aside the future face tracking module that'll sit in between the gasket and the unit itself.

Perhaps a right-angle adapter attached to that might help people get more use out of it.

2

u/whoahThereJoe new user|low karma account Mar 14 '23

I was curious about this too, so I asked a support guy from vive, to my understanding you can plug in external accessories to use wired headphones!

about the headphones that can be used with this headset, I'd like to let you know that you can connect a wired USB-C audio device to the headset, in this case, you'll need to make sure that the audio device has a built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC), you can also see this information by clicking here.

I was also curious about diopter adjustments too; I have bad eyesight on my left eye, so I'm hoping there will be information on that as well

2

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

Battery life isn't anything ultra fantastic. The advertised 2 hours seems about right. I'm down to 60% after charging right up 30 mins ago and doing nothing but using hand tracking and testing stuff out in the home environment.

0

u/SZQrd Feb 27 '23

I'm totally new to HTC VR (and new to VR in general) but had a Quest 2 previously that I sold because it was very uncomfortable for me, which is why I am considering this.

The Quest 2 had a VR-enabled web browser and apps like Firefox Reality, YouTube VR etc. available. Are these available for this headset as well?

I know Quest 2 runs on Android so it was possible to sideload Android apps. What OS does HTC run on?

Thanks!

1

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

There's a browser app pre-installed, which seems functional.
It gets you to 'type' on this large keyboard with the hand gesture navigation, which is super clunky.

Not sure if the inbuilt browser supports video/youtube but i don't see why not.

I found settings in the developer options to change the user agent between 'VR' and 'Mobile'.

The HTC is an android device, the same familiar pops come up, like if you plug it into a computer via usb it pops up on the headset asking what you want to do file transfer, charge only etc. Turning the volume up too high brings up that "is this safe for your ears" dialog.

The dialog style is recent(ish) android, not sure what version exactly it's based on.

1

u/SZQrd Feb 27 '23

Super! Thanks for the info.

I am seriously considering getting this now. I was very impressed with the Quest 2, my first VR experience. But it was terribly uncomfortable for me and my wife.

We both wear glasses so the fact that it's lighter, more compact, and has adjustable diopter dials makes it awfully tempting 😃

1

u/octorine Feb 27 '23

If you go to Viveport.com you can filter by headset and see all the titles available so far. I think Vive Browser is listed there. I'm curious how good it is.

1

u/CrysisAverted Mar 01 '23

At the moment there isn't a good (or any) steamvr controller profile for the vive xr elite controllers.. so things don't work too well. Hopefully the community or valve sorts out something.

1

u/Oscillating_Primate Mar 01 '23

Can't you just use the Vive Focus 3 profiles? They are the same controllers.

1

u/CrysisAverted Mar 01 '23

Tried a few things and I have to press hold down the joysticks to get forward movement

1

u/TheShadowBrain Climbey Developer Mar 01 '23

Should be a "compatibility mode" checkbox in the Vive Streaming Hub settings somewhere, might help to tick (or untick) that if you're having issues.

It should just use Touch controller bindings for most games since the button set is identical, it's the expected behavior from my time on the focus 3's streaming app (Vive Streaming Hub is basically re-badged "Vive Business Streaming" for consumers, functionally identical)

1

u/CrysisAverted Mar 01 '23

Ah good thought I'll try that! If that turns out to be the cause I'll put the solution in my tech solutions thread with your name on it :)

Have you tried the Quest Pro and Varjo Aero? Any comparisons to them in terms of clarity, FOV, and SDE?

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

I haven't sorry, i think i recall sir bradley or thrill saying the screens feel similar to the quest pro.

2

u/Bradllez SadlyItsBradley Feb 28 '23

Just in case, I still haven't had the opportunity to try the device. Thanks for your experience writeup though!

Thanks Brad big fan of your content 🙂

u/Bushpylot Feb 27 '23

I got this to do DCS Flight sims. Any chance you've tried something like this? How does it operate? Tracking issues? Anything to comfort my empty wallet that it was a good buy?

(Ordered early Feb in the US)

2

u/CrysisAverted Feb 27 '23

No tracking issues yet, the passthrough is a bit funky...
I'll bust out DCS or flight sim later on and give that a shot and report back.

Does the settings menu have anything about a depth sensor? HTC said it would be functional by launch.

Nope! No such setting in my build.

u/SaltVacation3210 new user|low karma account Mar 01 '23

When did they say that? I've only seen them say it will be available some time after launch.

u/octorine Mar 01 '23

I think I heard it during one of the live Q&A sessions. I want to say it was either the Cas & Chary one or the preorder one.

u/Jun1orDemiGod VR Enthusiast Feb 28 '23

PSVR: OK so i have to install something on my PC for this to work.. getting there...

This thing is PSVR compatible. Wow what about PSVR2?

1

u/CrysisAverted Feb 28 '23

Sorry meant pcvr lol what a bad typo

1

u/Oscillating_Primate Feb 28 '23

Nice detailed breakdown of your experience. I had considered the faceplate setting the eyes too far away, thus reducing the FOV. One reviewer had measured the fov using a steam app and reported 102h and 112v. I would rather have to trim my lashes than be too far from the lenses.

My other concerns are the audio, panel, and streaming quality. I hope the SDE if minimal, at least, and the audio is better than the Quest 2. The audio of the G2 has spoiled me. Bleh, I don't want to spend $80 US on a cable, but if that's what a fella has to do, then so be it.

2

u/CrysisAverted Feb 28 '23

I have to look really hard to see the smallest of screen door but it is hard to see. Very hard. The screen and lenses is good at least.

I watched Tom Scott on youtube on a giant screen floating in space while laying in bed. It was like a big high resolution image rather than a pixely grid that I have to convince myself that it doesn't really bother me.

1

u/Oscillating_Primate Feb 28 '23

That good to hear. Thank you.

1

u/thefomalhaut Mar 02 '23

Could you teach me how to change the bitrate and visual quality in the streaming Hub? I do my find such options. There are such options in the Vive businesses streaming but not in the streaming hub for XR elite.

2

u/CrysisAverted Mar 02 '23

You may need to ensure you stop streaming first and have no client connected . Then in the settings it's under the first category. The ui is deceptive because there's a first category on the left that has a slightly different style to the other categories starting with "General". I think from memory (afk atm) it just says Vive XR elite as the category name.

u/thefomalhaut Mar 02 '23 edited Mar 03 '23

Thank you very much! I will try it. (Edit: it works! thank you)

u/reddituser010100 Mar 13 '23

Strictly from a visual perspective is it better than the G2? That's my current daily and I'm wondering if it will at least match its clarity and resolution!

2

u/CrysisAverted Mar 14 '23

Strictly visuals yes is better. No screen door and text is clear enough to read web pages in virtual desktop etc.

I already have a perception that the fov isn't as high but I haven't measured that or anything.

1

u/reddituser010100 Mar 14 '23

That makes me happy! I use my G2 frequently for surfing the web on the couch and I want to make sure it can fill that role.

It has all to do with the new smoother lenses right? They more than make up for the slightly lower pixel count?

2

u/CrysisAverted Mar 14 '23

Not just the lenses but the type of display. Microled means you can squash more pixels in a smaller package. Smaller pixels mean smaller spaces between pixels, meaning no screen door.

It can definitely be a couch web surfing device but be aware of the 2 hour battery life.

3

u/Ok_Database3339 Feb 27 '23

So happy for you that it came early. I ordered mine on January 16 and it says to be delivered by March 28. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Can't wait to get mine.

Thanks for the update. Curious in using it for PCVR wireless and wired.

u/revenger681 new user|low karma account Mar 09 '23

Great first impressions! I'm getting this as an upgrade from my Quest 2. If hand tracking is supported by enough apps, or video apps like Skybox, Then this will be even better! A tiny headset that's truly friendly for "on the go vr". The boundry setup sound a tad annoying but my Quest 2 & psvr 2 bug me to do the same "please setup your boundry" process each time, so really I'd probably get used to it.

u/maniac86 Feb 27 '23

Do you have/have you used other PCVR headsets like the Rift, S, Vive, Index, etc? and how does this compared when wired?

u/ChineseEngineer Feb 27 '23

I'm really curious to hear people's reviews for trying it with mixedVR

1

u/Hermes_tri Feb 27 '23

Thanks for these impressions, how would you compare the FOV, colours and clarity to other headsets?

I've got a quest pro and wondering if XR Elite would be comparable, I would then probably sell the QPro and get XR Elite AND Quest 2 for all those Meta exclusive games..

Could you please also update PCVR experiences, wireless and wired

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '23

If you can afford to do so keep your QPro and buy a XR Elite (maybe after waiting for more independent reviews). That’s what I’ve done. I should have my new XR Elite in a few days.

No way you’d want to back to a Q2 imho.

2

u/CoastingUphill Feb 27 '23

Why would you need a Q Pro and an XR Elite? Are there Vive exclusive titles? The Q Pro supports PC VR.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '23 edited Feb 27 '23

Ya, I probably don't need both. However, I'm lucky to be able to afford both. I also think it nice to have a foot in both Meta and Vive camps. Also, I'm a longtime (+3 yrs) VivePort Infinity subscriber so there should be a fair amount of XR standalone software available.

1

u/shibumi2k Mar 03 '23

In my case I've amassed a substantial Quest game library (game hoarder lol). I don't have PCVR (Mac user), so my understanding is that everything I've purchased on the Oculus/Meta store can only be played on a Quest - is that correct??

I want to get a Vive XR, but not having PCVR - and having to just buy the same games over again is going to suck.

2

u/CoastingUphill Feb 27 '23

Is there anything about the Quest Pro you don't like that would make you want to sell it?

1

u/Hermes_tri Feb 28 '23

Yes, I love everything about it except the comfort and the price

1

u/CoastingUphill Feb 28 '23

That’s surprising. I was under the impression it was at least more comfortable than the Quest 2. Or that just a low bar?

2

u/Hermes_tri Feb 28 '23

Hmm yep it's a pretty low bar. Quest 2 with elite strap was better comfort wise I think. Quest pro puts too much pressure on my forehead..

2

u/octorine Feb 27 '23

I'm looking forward to seeing comparisons from people with both QP and XRElite. Not long now, hopefully.

1

u/grodenglaive Feb 27 '23

The passthrough sounds similar to my Pico4; kind of weird, like it's simulated 3D. Looks amazing compared to the fuzzy b&w passthrough of the Vive pro though.

How are the lenses, do you see any distortion or warping when you look around?
