The Vive Pro 2 handily beats the Oculus on specs.
Goodbye, Motion Sickness?
Im hopeful that the higher resolution on the HTC could help.

The VIVE Pro 2 has fine-adjustable interpupillary distance, which should make the picture a bit sharper.
It also offers 3D spatial sound withHi-Res Audio Certified headphones.
The new Vive is a big jump in specs from the original Vive Pro, released in 2018.
HTC
That model has a 2880 x 1600 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and 110-degree field of view.
The new Vive Pro 2 will offer a 5K resolution, with 24482448 pixels per eye.

Apples vs. Oranges?
Youll need a PC with an Intel Core i5-4590 or AMD Ryzen 1500 equivalent or greater.
For graphics, the Vive requires at least an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480 equivalent.
By contrast to the Vive, the Quest 2 is for VR novices.
But for every intriguing new feature I discover about the Oculus Quest 2, its limitations stymie me.
The screens are fine on the Oculus, but they could still be a lot better.
At 1832 x1920 pixels per eye, they are significantly lower resolution than those on the Vive Pro 2.
As virtual reality becomes more capable, users are likely to pay higher prices for headsets.
The rumored upcoming Apple mixed reality headset reportedly could have a price tag as high as $3,000.
