Powered by Reign
Together with its subsidiary G Reigns and partner Supermicro, HTC built a low-latency 5G network which powered live demos at HTC’s booth. In one demo, guests steered radio-controlled cars around a small race track in real-time over 5G, leveraging HTC’s compact, portable, 5G product Reign Core.
Holoride
Using HTC VIVE Flow VR glasses and holoride’s revolutionary immersive technology platform, the two companies are collaborating to deliver VR entertainment to automobile passengers. Holoride’s technology synchronizes VR material with the vehicle’s real-time motion, location, and navigational data. Holoride is great for entertaining passengers on long travels when combined with HTC’s lightweight and compact VR glasses, VIVE Flow. Guests at the MWC had the opportunity to try out holoride’s in-car VR during a ride around Barcelona.
Location Based Entertainment
HTC VIVE also demoed the latest in Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) from Yullbe Go / Europa Park, with an onsite experience allowing five players wearing VIVE Focus 3 to roam the same map, interact, and game together.
The VIVE ecosystem is built around premium VR hardware, software, and content. The VIVE business encompasses best-in-class XR hardware; VIVEPORT platform and app store; VIVE Enterprise Solutions for business customers; VIVE X, a US$100M VR business accelerator; and VIVE ARTS for cultural initiatives.
