O’Brien says HTC has designed every piece of the HTC Pre from the ground up.
“The headset has brighter, crisper screens with Mura correction, which makes objects feel like they’re right in front of you,” O’Brien says. “It adds to the presence value.”
The headset is smaller and more comfortable than the Vive design, according to O’Brien. Interchangeable foam inserts and nose gaskets make it easier to adjust the headset to faces of any size or shape, including consumers wearing eyeglasses.
New on the Vive Pre is the new front-facing camera, which is being used in two ways. As part of the “chaperone system,” the camera overlays real-world items like walls, chairs, and tables into the virtual world for a mixed reality experience to ensure users don’t walk into things as they’re playing games or exploring experiences.

I'm glad they've improved the design of the headset, as it was heavy and hot to wear. Straps and other adjustments take care of factors like my big head and large nose. That's easy.
The problem for me is the giant (size of a squared-off coffee cup) PIR sensors. Now they've said these are now smaller and less noisy (noisy?!) and can be tripod mounted.
But that is hopelessly impracticable for anyone who doesn't have a dedicated VR room or a huge amount of space around their PC (which I don't).
Until they come up with something that doesn't require 15sq ft of space, or huge wall-mounted "lighthouses" then the Vive has to remain off my list.

And that's a HUGE issue right there. Not all faces and head sizes are the same, not even close. How do you design a one size fits all for that?
How does Oakley making skiing googles? There will be more models in time, but for me, for me it just has to fit my head. Since I'm unspectacular in every sense of the word, it will fit just fine.
Cutter all you gravitate to is the complaints. Clothes have issues, cars, woman, you just have to go with it and see where it all takes you.
Oh go fuck yourself, I do not. Assholes like you just choose to see the negative in other people.
You are constantly told by many you are a chronic complainer here, how do you not get the message? How is that possible?

Cutter has a very valid point. One size does NOT fit all. I have a huge head, wear glasses and honestly my head has a bit of a point to it. It's nice that they are taking these into consideration especially with glass wearers.
