HTC Vive has announced the release of the “VIVE XR Elite Deluxe Pack”. This is a set of four new accessories designed to improve the ergonomics and comfort of VR headsets.

The Deluxe Package consists of the following accessories:

• VIVE Face Gasket 2.0 for XR Series: It provides a comfortable fit, evenly distributes pressure around the eyes and reduces light penetration for an optimal immersive experience.
• VIVA Seal MR for the XR series: It fits comfortably on the forehead, provides adequate ventilation and expands the peripheral field of vision for a great mixed reality experience.
• VIVE Deluxe Belt for the XR series: Distributes the weight of the headset evenly across the front and back, making it feel lighter and more stable when moving.
• LIVE temple clips for the XR series: Ensures a secure connection of the battery holder.

HTC Vive focuses on comfort improvements

The announcement of the free accessory pack is likely to please many users who have experienced comfort issues with the Vive XR Elite. In our review of the Vive XR Elite, Ben complained about a rear head mount slide and a tight, stiff face mask that can become uncomfortable after about 30 minutes of use.

With the new accessories, the HTC Vive seems to have answered these shortcomings. In particular, the improved face and forehead seals, as well as the luxurious strap, should provide a much more even distribution of weight and a more comfortable fit.
