When bought as a complete package, Cosmos Elite is black rather than blue | Image courtesy HTCįor this review, HTC sent us everything that ships with the Vive Cosmos Elite (External Tracking Faceplate, 2x SteamVR Tracking 1.0 base stations, and 2x Vive wand controllers) so that we could upgrade our original Cosmos to Cosmos Elite. And that’s where Vive Cosmos Elite comes in it’s one of several modular variants of the headset which HTC recently introduced.Ĭosmos Elite is the same Cosmos headset except equipped with what HTC calls the ‘External Tracking Faceplate’ which ditches the inside-out camera tracking for SteamVR Tracking which brings more accuracy but relies on external base stations (which also means more to set up). While the headset isn’t bad, competitors on both sides (Oculus’ Rift on the low-end and Valve’s Index on the high-end) seemed to offer better value propositions considering their price and performance.īut, Cosmos has a trick up its sleeve-a detachable faceplate which gives it some interesting modularity. This is a somewhat unique review because of Vive Cosmos’ modular approach so let me break down where this all fits before we start.Ĭosmos launched back in October as HTC’s latest consumer focused headset and its first PC headset with inside-out tracking. HTC also plans to also sell the ‘External Tracking Faceplate’ separately so that Cosmos users have the option to upgrade. Cosmos Elite is the same base headset as Cosmos, but equipped with a faceplate that offers SteamVR Tracking instead of inside-out tracking. HTC’s Vive Cosmos Elite headset is set to ship on the 18th and we’ve been testing the unit to bring you a full review.
