The HTC Vive Business Edition Headset is Ready for the Business Environment

— June 10, 2016 — Tech
Virtual reality is no longer a technology for gamers but is instead being integrated into many different aspects of the market, so the HTC Vive Business Edition Headset comes as a logical next step for the brand. The headset -- or, HTC Vive BE as it's being referred to -- provides individuals and organizations with access to comprehensive equipment.

Customer support will be available for the headset along with a 12-month limited warranty with businesses capable of ordering multiple systems to be integrated in offices or retail environments.

The HTC Vive Business Edition Headset is set to be available for purchase for $1,200, which is roughly $400 more than the original headset retails for. The technology within the headset is the same as the consumer edition, so organizations are paying more for the enhanced support.

1. Virtual Reality Integration - Virtual reality is becoming integrated into many different aspects of the market, providing opportunities for the development of virtual reality technologies for other industries.
2. Business Edition Headsets - The release of the HTC Vive Business Edition Headset provides an opportunity for other headset manufacturers to create products specifically for the business market.
3. Enhanced Support for Business - Businesses are paying more for enhanced support on the HTC Vive Business Edition Headset, which creates opportunities for similar consumer products to be adapted for business use with enhanced support offerings.
Industry Implications
