HTC says Viveport Video is compatible with both PC VR and Vive Wave headsets — in other words, it’ll work not just on PC-powered devices like the original Vive and the Rift, but also on HTC’s standalone Vive Focus that’s powered by the Wave platform. While the application is not exclusive to HTC-branded devices, you’ll get access to premium content on top of its free videos if you have a Viveport Infinity subscription. A membership will set you back $13 a month or $99 a year for unlimited access to apps and games.
You can watch and enjoy Major League Baseball, Red Bull TV and MacLaren Racing videos in VR if you’re a sports fan. The app also features videos from musicians under Red Bull Records, 1Culture and CreekVR. Also if you enjoy immersive virtual reality adventures the most, you can choose from offerings like Everest: The VR Film Experience, which gives you a 360-degree first-person view of the climb to the top of the famous mountain.
According to Rikard Steiber, President of Viveport, Immersive VR video experiences are an exciting and captivating way for users to connect with the things that interest them the most and with Viveport Video, they now have access to premium content across a variety of lifestyle genres. Through Viveport Video, the developer community will finally be able to monetize their premium video content and share these experiences with a large audience.
