HTC Vive Eagle review: Pricey smart glasses that fail to impress

AI Summary

HTC launched the Vive Eagle a year ago in Taiwan and has now released it in the West. The company faces a challenge because it lacks the financial muscle and cultural influence that Meta has used to push its camera‑equipped smart glasses. HTC must convince consumers that smart glasses are necessary and deliver a hardware and software experience that surpasses Meta’s offering. The review notes that the Eagle falls short on both fronts, failing to provide a compelling reason for ownership or a superior user experience.
