On the other hand, HTC has done a great job with the tracking. The Vive Focus 3 is in no way inferior to the Quest 2 - I would even say that it sometimes feels a bit more stable, for example during fast movements on the Expert level in Beat Saber.

1984: Palace Films was started as a home video distributor between Roadshow, Blake Films and private investor Antony Veccola, with Roadshow handling home video distribution of its titles.[4]

In 1987, it merged with Greater Union Film Distributors to form Roadshow-Greater Union Distributors, with Roadshow Distributors and Greater Union Distributors acting as subsidiaries of the unit. The company began distributing films produced by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution with its units of Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures. The company as a whole was merged into Roadshow five years later.[26][27] In 1989, the company begin distributing pictures produced by its American-based subsidiary Village Roadshow Pictures, a sister firm that was established that year.[18]

On 16 December 2014, Roadshow Films acquired a 33% stake in American film production and international sales company FilmNation Entertainment.[32] However, as of 2017, Roadshow Films' stake has since reduced to 31%.

In 1994, the company launched its own interactive division, called Roadshow New Media, aka Roadshow Interactive to publish software for Australia and New Zealand.[10]

Comfort and tracking are good to excellent. However, the actual high-resolution image is plagued by glare and god-rays, which makes it very choppy - primarily in high-contrast scenes.

Tracking is great, the controllers are reliable, comfort is good, and the VR headset is fast. On top of that, I can use apps entirely without an account login, similar to the Pico Neo 3 Pro. For a good B2B headset, this should be mandatory (yes, I'm looking at you, Meta).

1993: Village Roadshow Home Video becomes Village Roadshow Entertainment. Around the same time, the Premiere, Applause and Video Selection Australia labels were discontinued.

In 1982, Village Roadshow Entertainment was founded as Roadshow Home Video as a subsidiary of Roadshow Distributors.[1][2] Their first batch of movie titles, released on both VHS and Betamax format, were:

The Vive Wrist Tracker sits on the wrist like a slightly-too-large smartwatch. This increases the accuracy of the laser significantly. However, the gadget does not improve the sometimes unclean finger tracking of the cameras. In my opinion, the wrist tracker does not have a significant advantage over the VR controllers - apart from the smaller size. Tracking objects is another potential use of the tracker.

In 1992, Disney elected to split up its ties from Roadshow Home Video and the company became an independent home video distributor by way of Buena Vista Home Video's Australian arm.[9]

In 1998, Buena Vista International parted ways with the company in order to set up its own Australian distribution arm.[28] Also that year, when Village Roadshow Pictures shuttered its international division, Beyond Films begin representing the sales for Australian productions.[29][30] In 2001, the company's film distribution unit became Roadshow Films, while Miramax split its ties from Roadshow to shift itself to BVI.[31]

But HTC is inconsistent, hence the disclaimer for the recommendation: it only applies if you ignore the lens display disaster (which works relatively well in less contrasty scenarios). Cable or audio connection bugs can be annoying, and even in B2B, a store shouldn't greet willing app buyers with the words, "To complete your purchase, please remove your headset and complete your purchase at URL XYZ."

Roadshow Entertainment has its own label named Roadshow Films, which is in turn the theatrical distribution unit of Village Roadshow. The unit was originally formed in 1968 by the owners of Village Cinemas as quite simply Roadshow, initially to distribute drive-in pictures, often in collaboration with fellow Australian distributor Blake Films under the joint releasing label of Blake-Roadshow, and the acquisition of reissue rights of South Pacific.[15][16] These films were so successful that Roadshow would gain the Australian franchise for pictures by American International Pictures in order to give them access to a continuing library of product.[17][18][16]

Late 1990s: Palace's home video distribution with Roadshow has been expired, Palace would instead sign a home video deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. In 2008 Palace films signed a contract with Madman Entertainment to be the Australian and New Zealand distributor of DVDs/Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD titles in both Australia and New Zealand.

The larger lateral field of view does not make up for this: The image becomes blurry towards the edges, and it is cut off towards the top due to the new 16:9 format. As with the Vive Pro 2, the image of the Vive Focus 3 - even though it has a higher resolution - is worse than that of the Quest 2, Pico Neo 3 Pro (review) or Pico Neo 3 Link (review) competitors in terms of the overall impression.

But as soon as I move, and especially when the scene in question is high-contrast, I have an incredibly choppy, blurry image. This is due to the fierce glare (the ring of rays around bright objects or writing) and the so-called God Rays, i.e. light rays that refract on the Fresnel lenses and cause bright light circles there, among other things. This is not as noticeable in less contrasty scenarios, where the image sharpness comes more to the fore again.

Apart from the audio connection, which I could not establish for the life of me, Wi-Fi streaming worked all the better. Clean, high-quality streaming enabled smooth table tennis in Eleven Table Tennis and an almost completely smooth walk through City 17 in Half-Life: Alyx. That positively impressed me, although Air Link still has an edge here as well. In a direct comparison, the picture coming over Wi-Fi was clearer and sharper in the Quest 2.

1989: Applause Home Video was established as a Village Roadshow label, with Babette's Feast being the first title under the label.[7] Video Selection Australia was also established by Roadshow as a label for family releases.[8]

Around the same time, the company launched a label, Vibrant Video, which was dedicated to primarily R-rated adult fare and horror films, but the label itself did not last very long, as some of the titles have been moved to Palace.[3]

Since 2021, Warner Bros' films are released theatrically through Universal Pictures International,[13] while Roadshow is continuing to release future Warner Bros. titles through their physical media and digital formats.

The Vive Focus 3 is nice and fast: menus and apps are loaded and ready to use in no time. However, the passthrough mode has a noticeable latency and the playfield setup has to be done over and over again. In this regard, the Focus 3 is a bit forgetful. Quite decent sound comes from the speakers in the head mount. Those who do not like that can connect their preferred headphones via jack.

According to HTC, users only need a high-quality USB-C cable to connect their own PC. Unfortunately, this did not work in my test. Although I used a recommended cable, the Vive streaming software did not recognize my headset.

Unfortunately, the display-lens combination is just as awful as it was on the Vive Pro 2. While I keep reading reviews praising the extra sharpness of the image, I can only agree with that to an extent. The resolution is high and, in the very narrow sweet spot when completely motionless, the image is very sharp.

Josh experienced first hand just how much a team could achieve if no one is focused on getting credit.

However, the tracking does have one drawback: The laser pointer beams that emanate from the virtual controllers rock back and forth during fast movements. I don't feel like I'm holding a stable lightsaber or operating an accurate laser, although I can still control it accurately most of the time. There remains a slightly spongy feeling during use.

The Vive Focus 3 is a good VR headset for the business sector. Home users can access SteamVR via streaming, and an account login is not absolutely necessary, but the package is too expensive for most consumers.

In 1985, Roadshow Home Video became Village Roadshow Home Video and Premiere Home Entertainment was established.[5] Veccola bought out the other company's stock of Palace and it ventured out into the film distribution business and opened a small number of art-house cinemas around Australia's main cities and became an independent company. Its home video release were still handled by Village Roadshow until the late 1990s. That year, the company began picking up titles from Walt Disney Home Video in the Australian market, taking over from home video distributor Syme Home Video.[6]

The company begin expanding in local film production after the success of the 1971 film Stork, to start out a joint venture film production company Hexagon Productions, with Tim Burstall and Associates, and the company Bilcock and Copping, who each held 25% of its shares. The company made major hits, like Alvin Purple, which became a smash hit for the Australian film market, and Bilcock and Copping backed out of the venture prior to making the film Eliza Fraser.[21][22][23][24] When Hexagon went dormant in the 1970s, the company continued to distribute local productions by other studios, including the smash hit Mad Max by Kennedy Miller, and the international film Rebel by Phillip Emanuel.[25] In 1974, the company began entering television distribution within the Roadshow group under the name of Roadshow Television.[17]

The Vive Pro 2 (review) could not convince me - the price-performance ratio was not great. The standalone VR headset Vive Focus 3 also relies on many features of the Vive Pro 2 - such as the poor lens design. Is the overall package still worth a recommendation for the business sector?

Unlike the Vive Pro 2, which just doesn't bring a suitable price-performance ratio in the overall package, the Vive Focus 3 made me feel a bit more gracious towards HTC again. To these points, I can recommend the Vive Focus 3 for enterprise:

Although the mounting plate at the back of the head is not very well adapted to the ergonomics of standard heads, the headband, which can be adjusted via a dial, also sits very comfortably at the back, thanks to the good padding. Thus, the Vive Focus 3 can be worn for longer periods of time, even if the typical pressure on the face is not absent.

In 1971, it entered a long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. to distribute and market its films in Australia and New Zealand under a joint venture, called Roadshow International, with the distribution side for international producers being renamed to Roadshow Distributors.[17][18][16][19][20]

The replaceable battery is at the back of the head. Similar to the face pad in the front, the magnetically attached padding in the back is removable. The battery itself lasts around two hours with a charging time of around one hour.

As in the Quest 2 (review), an XR2 processor from Qualcomm works in the standalone headset. The frame rate is 90 Hz by default.

Wearing comfort is surprisingly good. Putting on the Vive Focus 3 is smooth. As a glasses wearer, I fit under the headset without any pushing or pulling, and the plastic face pad is pleasantly soft on the skin. The headset also perfectly blocks out any light. An audible, active fan blows air inside. This cools, but also dries out the eyes a bit faster.

For private users, the Vive Focus 3 is clearly too expensive, especially since only streaming from SteamVR or Viveport should really be interesting then. However, should HTC further develop its future VR headset on this basis, they could perhaps make a comeback.

The Vive Focus 3 can also do hand tracking, but not as well as the Quest 2. While scrolling and selecting apps works well, the gesture for opening the menu requires explicit and slow repetitions - and even that does not work well often enough. This can be improved with additional accessories, at additional cost.

The VR controllers of the Vive Focus 3 are rather pragmatic. In any case, they are not ergonomically shaped. The grip is too long and the controllers, therefore, do not sit so well in the hand. However, this is negligible because they do their job absolutely reliably.

The Vive Focus 3 adopts the display and Fresnel lenses of the Vive Pro 2. Both VR headsets have a resolution of 2,448 x 2,448 pixels per eye and offer a wider-than-average field of view maxing out at 120 degrees thanks to the dual-stacked design. The vertical field of view, on the other hand, is truncated and flattened here as well. An incredibly variable IPD control allows the interpupillary distance to be set between 57 and 72 millimeters.
