HTC VIVE recently announced that their new VIVE COSMOS premium PC-based virtual reality (VR) system is available in Malaysia for pre-order for RM3699 starting from 12 September till 3 October on Shopee and Lazada. Launching on 4 October 2019, it will come with pre-order bonuses that include a free 12-month VIVEPORT Infinity membership worth RM443.88 and an additional shooting game called AEON.
Vive Cosmos features and all-new Vive tracking system that offers a simplified setup with six camera sensors for wide and accurate inside-out tracking and a unique flip-up design. Cosmos features a 2880 x 1700 combined pixel resolution—an 88% increase over the original Vive utilizing LCD panels to reduce the distance between pixels and RGB displays to minimize the screen-door effect. It also has integrated on-ear headphones and is compatible with the Vive Wireless Adapter for those who want to enjoy moving in VR without being tethered.
Viveport Infinity gives unlimited access to hundreds of top-rated VR apps, games, and videos like A Fisherman’s Tale, Fujii, and Ninja Legends, as well as premium videos from top brands like GoPro, Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet. In tandem with the Vive Cosmos launch, Viveport Infinity will be adding new titles such as Doctor Who: The Edge of Time by Maze Theory, Playstack, and BBC; Eleven Eleven by Syfy; Battlewake by Survios; Gloomy Eyes by Atlas V and 3dar; and Swords of Gargantua by Yomuneco and Gumi; and MLB Home Run Derby by MLB.
The first official “mod” is the Vive Cosmos External Tracking Mod so customers can continue to use their existing Lighthouse base stations for tracking scenarios. It supports Vive’s ecosystem of peripherals including the Vive Tracker, while the mod will be available in Q1 of next year. Starting 4 October the HTC Vive Cosmos will also be available at major IT retailers such as All IT Hypermarket, Impulse Internet Café, PC Image, Thunder Match and Top Marco.
