Although HTC Vive’s current flagship headset, Cosmos, is starting to appear dated compared to its competition, HTC is determined to carve out a successful VR niche and recently announced plans to focus on “All-in-Two” VR devices which house no computing components and are powered via cable by a smartphone.

HTC teased its new “All-in-Two” concept headset last year, claiming the device, codenamed Proton, would be capable of 6DoF tracking, making this a notable step forward for smartphone VR.
