of innovations at Mobile World Congress 2022, including advancements in 5G

technology, in-car VR experiences, Location Based Entertainment (LBE), and the

Entering the VIVERSE

Viverse is HTC VIVE's place in the metaverse: a universe of new experiences,

and a seamless gateway to other VR universes in collaboration with partners

worldwide.

HTC VIVE showcased new innovations to provide people with the best possible

experience as they explore the Viverse. These innovations include VIVE Browser,

a new VR-based web browser, and VIVE Connect, a portal to experiencing and

traversing the Viverse. The company also debuted VIVE Guardian – a new tool

which gives parents, guardians and teachers control over what young people can

see and do in VR.

"VIVERSE is the next chapter of our VIVE Reality vision. VIVE is our brand and

means 'life', and Verse refers to the chapters of life. Viverse provides

seamless experiences, reachable on any device, anywhere, and is enabled by the

virtual and augmented reality, high-speed connectivity, AI, and blockchain

technologies that HTC has invested in for several years. We invite partners to

join us on this fantastic journey to the internet of presence," said Cher Wang,

Co-Founder and Chairwoman at HTC.

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.

Going for a holoride

HTC VIVE and holoride are working together to bring VR entertainment to car

passengers by leveraging VIVE Flow VR glasses and holoride's innovative

immersive technology platform. holoride's technology matches VR content with

real-time motion, location and navigational data from the vehicle. Combined

with VIVE Flow, HTC's lightweight and compact VR glasses, holoride is ideal for

entertaining passengers on their journeys. Guests at MWC were able to

experience holoride's in-car VR in a ride around Barcelona.

Playing Together in VR

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.
