Stronger VR business focus at HTC

HTC Vive is increasingly becoming a business product. At last year's Mobile World Congress, HTC unveiled comprehensive business solutions based on XR Elite and Viverse. Vive's location-based software suite was also used to create the first zero-gravity VR system. A customized Vive Focus 3 is being used as a fitness device for astronauts on the ISS in combination with a special ergometer.
